Fully automated SLS, without the mess.
Meet Primateria, an integrated polymer laser powder bed fusion production center. Completely sealed powder handling, recycling, and mixing with automated post-processing. Designs go in, finished parts come out, with no operator or manual handling in between.

Three machines and an operator, replaced by one.
Selective laser sintering prints complex geometries in production polymers, without supports, at production volumes. Today it also needs a printer, a separate breakout station, manual depowdering, sieving and post-processing. Each step adds labor, degrades powder and exposes the operator.
Today: three machines, one operator
Primateria: one machine
One machine. A fraction of the cost.
Production-grade SLS, priced within reach of any shop. Comparable legacy SLS printers run $300,000 to $500,000 once the breakout station and blast cabinet are counted.

Sealed, so there’s no powder room.
SLS powder is fine and gets everywhere, which is why legacy machines live in a dedicated powder room with an operator handling loose powder at every step. Primateria keeps the powder inside one sealed unit, so it sits on an ordinary shop floor. Even refilling stays clean: our design allows adding fresh powder without spills.
Less capital per part, and far fewer hands on it.
Legacy SLS spreads every build across a printer, a breakout station and a blast cabinet, with a technician moving it between them for hours. Primateria prints, depowders and media blasts in one sealed unit, enabling autonomous production.
49% lower cost per drone frame than legacy SLS

One machine, from powder to finished part.
Primateria prints, depowders and finishes inside one sealed unit, with no operator in the loop and no powder room to build around it. A $99 fully refundable deposit reserves a slot in the first production run and is credited toward your final price.
Where it's used.
Add capacity without adding a shift
A bureau’s SLS output is capped by hands-on time, not by printers. One service bureau describes manual blasting as two to three hours a day, and surveys put post-processing at 10 to 25 percent of additive spend. A leading SLS provider’s automated sift-and-blast still needs about an hour per build; a legacy SLS printer needs four. Primateria depowders and blasts inside the sealed unit, about twenty minutes of attention per build, so one operator’s shift covers a dozen units and Friday-evening builds ship Monday morning.
