Applications

Where SLS PA12
Performs Best

From surf foil to motorsport, our parts perform in the most demanding environments on the planet.

Aerospace

Aerospace 3D printing enables lightweight, high-performance components without traditional tooling constraints. SHAPES*lab manufactures aerospace parts using SLS PA12, PA12-CF, PA12 Glass, and advanced polymers optimized for strength, weight reduction, thermal stability, and repeatability. Typical applications include structural brackets, airflow ducts, housings, inspection tooling, jigs, and rapid prototype assemblies for validation. Our workflow supports prototype development, low-volume production, and CAD-driven parts for demanding aerospace environments.

Architecture

Architectural studios use SHAPES*lab to produce scale models, concept maquettes, complex façade studies, lattice structures, and sculptural installations. SLA Resin delivers high surface quality for presentation models, while SLS PA12 and FDM materials enable durable parts and complex geometries for exhibitions, prototypes, and buildable design studies. Our process helps architects communicate form, test spatial ideas, and realize geometry that is difficult to fabricate conventionally.

How It's Made

SLS

process

1

Brief & Design

Share your CAD file or sketch. We review geometry, wall thickness, and tolerances — and send back DFM feedback within 24 hours.

2

Material Selection

We recommend the right material for your application — whether that's isotropic SLS nylon, saltwater-resistant PETG Marine, flexible TPU, or marine-grade PETG.

3

Print & Quality Check

Parts are printed with precision tolerances and inspected against spec. Every critical dimension is verified before dispatch.

4

Deliver & Iterate

Fast turnaround — typically 48–72h. We iterate with you until the part performs exactly as required.
