Polish 3D printer manufacturer Sinterit has launched a new system that makes selective laser sintering (SLS) 3D printing on your desktop more accessible than ever before.
35% faster than its Lisa X predecessor yet 20% cheaper, the Sinterit Suzy brings even greater cost-efficiency to Sinterit’s affordable SLS 3D printing offering. Primarily aimed at those who manufacture with PA12, the stripped-back Suzy isn’t just faster, it still delivers parts with really high surface quality for those engaged in prototyping or small batch production.
“Suzy delivers precise, detailed, and repeatable results, ensuring exceptional quality in every layer,” read Sinterit’s marketing materials. “One of its key advantages is the thinnest layer height on the compact SLS market – just 0.075 mm (0.003 in) on the Z-axis. This ultra-fine resolution allows for an unparalleled level of detail, making it possible to achieve complex features and intricate geometries.”
To put it bluntly, Suzy is cheaper for a reason. The system is built for those who can go without a nitrogen chamber or setting customization and print with only the most popular materials. At the moment, that means PA12, but Sinterit is actively working on qualifying other powders.
That said, Sinterit’s latest machine remains fast, compact, and capable of delivering high-quality, consistent print results. If anything, its 150 x 200 x 350 mm build volume is actually slightly larger than before, and it retains the Lisa’s ability to create highly polished end-parts.
Other improvements include enhanced laser control for precision 3D printing and a rejigged recoating process for smoother prints. It was also necessary to upgrade the system’s thermal management system to allow for higher print speeds of up to 20 mm/h.
At a price of €17,590, it may be a bit out of budget for many makers. But Suzy is perfect for those seeking a low-cost, low-maintenance way of entering SLS 3D printing. You can find out more about the Sinterit Suzy here. Or check our budget 3D printing guide for alternatives.
Really exciting to see Sinterit pushing the boundaries of desktop SLS! Suzy looks like a great option for small businesses and design studios. Curious to see how it compares in real-world tests to other entry-level SLS systems.
No nitrogen chamber sounds like a fair trade-off for the price and speed boost. If the surface quality is as good as they say, this could become the new standard for compact SLS. Looking forward to material support beyond PA12 though!
Suzy seems like a smart step forward — affordable, streamlined, and perfect for PA12 prototyping. It’s nice to see Sinterit making SLS more accessible without compromising on part quality. Hoping future updates will bring more material options!
