We had anticipated it two weeks ago: Sinterit, a leading Polish manufacturer of selective laser sintering (SLS) 3D printers, has officially introduced Suzy, the latest addition to its professional and industrial polymer laser PBF systems. This new model offers a 35% increase in print speed while being 20% more affordable than its predecessor.
“Few in the 3D printing industry recall the early days of desktop printers […] Each new generation brought faster speeds and lower costs, revolutionizing the market. This is exactly what has been missing in the SLS industry – and what Sinterit is determined to change. Our goal is to introduce a new, significantly improved model every three years, with much lower costs and much higher performance,” said Albert Klein, CEO of Sinterit.
Suzy: Affordable speed meets SLS precision
Since its founding in 2014, Sinterit has placed over a thousand machines in 40 countries. Listening closely to customer feedback, the company identified a clear demand: Focus. Approximately 80% of SLS users rely on polyamide PA12 and require parts within hours, not days. They also demand the high dimensional accuracy and smooth surface quality that SLS technology provides.
In response, Sinterit developed Suzy – a printer dedicated to PA12 with a 35% faster print speed than the Lisa X model. Importantly, this speed increase does not come at the expense of quality; Suzy maintains an impressive 75-micron layer thickness. While retaining the same build space and core dimensions as Lisa X, the Suzy features numerous enhancements, including improved laser control for precise performance, an optimized recoating process for smoother prints, refined thermal management to support higher speeds, smarter design and streamlined efficiency [see the full tech specs here]
The company will continue to offer the Lisa X model for users who require many different materials and settings, such as in research and education. The price for this machine will stay the same despite considerable cost increases.
A decade of experience has taught Sinterit how to perfect the details, many of which hide beneath Suzy’s sleek exterior. Internal upgrades, honed from years of user insights, not only boost reliability and simplify maintenance but also enhance print quality through refined temperature control and an optimized recoating process. This dual focus ensures that Suzy delivers both ease of use and superior performance.
A foundation for more
At launch, Suzy will be optimized for PA12, but Sinterit plans to expand its material compatibility in the coming months, with polypropylene set to be the next available option.
Previously, Sinterit ventured into the mid-tier SLS manufacturing market with the NILS 480 3D printer in 2021. However, the company has since pivoted its focus. “The market for mid- and large-size SLS machines is overcrowded, with slim profit margins. That’s not where we want to be,” said Maks Wikar, Sinterit’s Sales Director.
“Since shipping its first printer in 2014, Sinterit has grown into a reliable manufacturer with staying power. Its SLS printers have quietly revolutionized workshops and labs, proving that big ideas don’t need sprawling factories — just passionate execution. With Suzy, we continue our mission to empower engineers worldwide. Each precise, laser-sintered 75-micron layer represents a step toward the future,” said Petr Tuma, Sinterit’s CTO
Lukasz Adach, Sinterit’s CFO, added: “Like many 3D printer manufacturers, we had a challenging time last year. But we found our path through the rocky road: acquired new funding, reorganized structures, changed tactics, and gave up ideas with questionable outcomes. We improved absolutely everything”.
