The Sintratec Kit is the ideal first step into the world of additive manufacturing. It is especially suitable for producing functional prototypes. The printer can be integrated in any production environment and is easy to operate
3D Prints in almost infinite freeform, movable parts and high edge definition are ideal for the production of functional prototypes and models. It is possible to print various objects up to a size of 11 x 11 x 11 cm.
Laser sintering supports printing in nearly infinite freeform. You can even print movable assemblies and multiple nested objects all in one print.
The high-tech printing powder PA12 guarantees high stability and valence. Read more
Success with crowdfunding
The Sintratec Kit has been a success story long before its launch. In 2014, the first limited series of 60 sets of the Sintratec Kit was financed within a month with the help of a crowdfunding campaign. Half a year later they were delivered to the first customers.The foundation stone for Sintratec enterprise could not have been laid without the participation of all the numerous supporters out there.

Installation
Installation and commissioning of the Sintratec Kit are possible even without technical knowledge and take approximately four working days. Follow the step-by-step instruction included in the package for a better understanding.
We recommend you to install the printer in an environment where powder residues do not pose a problem. A normal power connection is sufficient for commissioning. The supplied software will start the printing process. The computer can be connected to the printer via USB port. We recommend you to buy a sandblaster in order to clean the printed objects properly.

There might be local duties and taxes of your country charges. We recommend to check on http://www.dutycalculator.com/ before you order (use "3d printer kit" in the product description field).
The Sintratec Kit comes as a kit. You can assemble it with basic tools such as screwdrivers and allen keys. You will get the kit together with a detailed assembly manual.
On avarage it takes 4 days to assemble. If you expect it to be "plug-and-print" the Sintratec Kit is not suitable for you.
You can get an impression of the assembly manual here.
The main print material is a high performance polymer (nylon), the PA12 powder. To extend our material portfolio we're continuously researching on new material possibilities.
Visit our material section for more information.
No, you cannot print with metal powder with the Sintratec Kit.
Please visit our web-store for additional powder or contact us for ordering larger amounts.
The retail price of the Sintratec Kit is 4999 EUR. As a university or school you profit from our educational discount. Please fill our enquiry for a special quote.
The Sintratec Central Software supports Windows 7 64-bit and Windows 10 64-bit.
You need a well ventilated room.
You will need enough space around the printer to refill powder, remove excess powder and recycle it.
You need a computer meeting the Sintratec Software requirements as well as an Internet connection to download and update the software.
You need a regular power socket. If you live in a country with different power plug, you need an adapter or a regular computer power cord with your local plug-type neck.
The Sintratec Kit prints with a layer height of 100 to 150 microns. Note that due to the nature of laser sintering, the apparent surface finish is much better than FDM prints.
The speed of the laser scanning is depending on the material and the settings used. You can print with 650mm/s and more.
We recommend wearing a dust mask while refilling powder, removing excess powder or recycling powder.
Always unplug the Sintratec Kit before opening the cover plate or servicing the Sintratec Kit in general.
Always wear the laser safety glasses when removing the laser safety box or when calibrating the laser.
We found that a person assembling alone needs on average four days to assemble and set up a Sintratec Kit.
