SL02 - THE MOST FLEXIBLE INDUSTRIAL 3D PRINTER
SONDASYS SL02
Powerful device
One of the key factors that inhibit the dynamic development of the industry growth is the time for research and testing new products. Thanks to the use of industrial 3D printing systems the verification and functional tests of all elements can be carried out at the early stage of their design. It is essential that the device enables the rapid production of components using proven and commercially available materials.
SondaSYS SL02 is the industrial additive manufacturing device, using SLS technology (polyamide/plastic powders) made from the beginning to the end in Poland by a team of engineers and market experts with over 15-year experience in the 3D printing industry and CAD/CAM services.

With open and editable print parameters, it is designed to work with all provider’s materials. Consumers can choose materials freely according to their current needs.
Our SLS 3D printer is the most flexible device available on the market.
THE BUILD VOLUME THAT CAN BE RESIZED.
That gives impressive effects in the optimization of the production costs by adjusting the size of the build chamber volume to current needs. Consumer just choosing size 1 (265 x 265 x 310 mm) or size 2 (365 x 365 x 610 mm) and the device will prepare selected build chamber volume by itself.
SONDASYS “SKYWRITTING”
In the SondaSYS SL02 System the laser moves from point A to point B at full speed, then makes an arc, at point B the laser turns on and continues to move at full speed. Turning the laser on and off is controlled and set using the SondaSYS RP software. Algorithms of the Cambridge Lighting 2 system are responsible for the smooth movement of the laser beam. The turn on/off time of the laser is set during the first calibration of the device. These settings remain unchanged and fixed – there is no need to re-calibrate them.
HIGH PERFORMACE MATERIALS
The heated print chamber can reach up to 300°C which enables the user to print with a wide range of high-performance materials, including PA6.
OPEN PARAMETERS
SondaSYS SL02 works with powders from all providers and producers.
CUSTOMIZATION
SL02 could be rebuilt come across to mostly to every clients need. Device has a few options which can be modified, client has to choose the final parameters.
MARKET ADVANTAGES OF SONDASYS SL02
RESIZABLE BUILD VOLUME
It gives impressive effects in the optimization of the production costs by adjusting the size of the build chamber volume to current needs. Consumer just choosing size 1 (265 x 265 x 310 mm) or size 2 (365 x 365 x 610 mm) and the device will prepare selected build chamber volume by itself.
Picking smaller build volume reduced heating and cooling time, also the amount of powder needed to use much smaller and lower cost per part.
Having a 3D printer with a invariable chamber size, consumer need to repeat the printing process or use other devices as need a bigger size of quantity. Whereas, in SL02 users just need to change printing settings and choose other, larger printing space. So tailoring build chamber volume to current needs allow also to speed up the process by reducing heating and cooling times.
SMOOTH CHANGING THE SIZE OF THE LASER BEAM SPOT
DURING THE PRINTING PROCESS
Thanks to that, the process can be speeded up with a faster filling in the model. That enables significant acceleration of the process and completion of work.
How quick? That depends on the model’s size, but it can save 5-10 seconds on just one layer and then multiply this by another layer.
Changing the size of the laser beam during the printing process is also preserving the precision of external surfaces. It is all digitally controlled and operated. A thicker laser beam makes the models stronger, so finally, the model has a less dispersed structure and has greater strength inside. That significant producing functional prototypes, tools, or short-run product series.
MINIMIZING DISTORTION
Used in standard 2-axis systems f-theta lens heats too much and that causes distortions. 3-axis galvo system does not need to operate the f-theta lens. In SondaSYS SL02 3-axis galvo system distortions are minimizing and problems with lens changing the geometry by itself under the influence of temperature are eliminated. So there is no need to change the scanned portion of the working plane to evenly distribute the temperature on the lens surface, like in 2-axis systems.
PRECISE LASER PATH GUIDANCE.
Advanced algorithms direct the mirrors of the galvo system in a way, that allows to take full advantage of their inertia and thus eliminate typical problems appearing in standard solutions.
SONDASYS “SKYWRITTING”
In standard 2-axis systems, the laser dot moves from point A to point B. At point B the laser dot must stop and after stopping it jumps in a straight line from point B to C, then the mirror accelerates and runs further to point D. In such a system, the laser slows down at point B while it constantly releases the same energy. So at points B and C the powder is sintered harder and deeper – due to laser downtime at these points the emitted energy is greater than it should be. Mirrors when stopping still have their inertia (the X mirror responsible for the A-B segment is still vibrating and the Y mirror responsible for the C-D segment is just accelerating) and this movement, although it only lasts milliseconds can then be seen on the models, as it causes folds in angles of sharp models.
In the SondaSYS SL02 System, the laser moves from point A to point B at full speed, then makes an arc, at point B the laser turns on and continues to move at full speed. Turning the laser on and off is controlled and set using the SondaSYS RP software. Algorithms of the Cambridge Lighting 2 system are responsible for the smooth movement of the laser beam. The turn on/off time of the laser is set during the first calibration of the device. These settings remain unchanged and fixed – there is no need to re-calibrate them.

CUSTOMIZATION
We can rebuild and develop SLS 3DP devices that include specific, individual client’s needs. Every device we produce is dedicated to the customer and differs a little bit from the others. We have a few options we can modify and our clients have an option to choose the final printer parameters before we start building it.
This kind of customizing is one of our key distinguishing factors on the market, which gives us business advantages. At the same time, customers gain
the possibility of purchasing exactly the machine they are looking for.
