SLA, SLM & SLS printing

Resin, metal and nylon parts, quoted per project, usually ready in 1 to 2 weeks. Message us and we take it from there.

Some parts ask for more than filament. SLA resin gives you smooth, highly detailed models. SLM gives you parts in real metal. SLS nylon gives you strong parts that bend without snapping. All three are available through Fox & Train on request, with the same handover, delivery and terms as the rest of our work.

Three processes

Not sure which one fits? Send the model and we will advise.

SLA resin

Smooth surfaces, sharp detail.

  • Display models, miniatures and figurines
  • Fine detail and thin, crisp features
  • Parts you want to paint or show off

Resin parts are stiffer and more brittle than filament.

SLM metal

Real metal, fused by laser.

  • End-use metal parts, brackets and jigs
  • Steel, aluminium, titanium and copper alloys
  • Shapes that are hard to machine

Metal costs more and takes longer than resin or nylon. Ask us early so we can plan the lead time.

SLS nylon

Tough, functional, no support marks.

  • Working parts, clips, housings and brackets
  • Living hinges and thin walls that must flex
  • Small batches of the same part

Nylon comes out with a fine matte finish.

  • A white SLA resin enclosure with moulded bosses and a slot, printed in one piece.

  • A black SLS nylon impeller with twenty curved blades around a cone hub.

How to order

Four steps, all on WhatsApp.

  1. Step I

    Send us the model

    Message us on WhatsApp with your file (STL, 3MF, STEP or OBJ), the process you want, the quantity and any finish.

  2. Step II

    We come back with a price

    You get a fixed price and a lead time, usually 1 to 2 weeks. Ask us anything about material choice before you decide.

  3. Step III

    You approve and pay

    Confirm the quote, then pay by PayNow. Work starts once payment is in.

  4. Step IV

    Delivery or pickup

    Island-wide delivery, or free self-collection in Yishun. Same as every other order.

Good to know

Read this before you message us.

  • Quoted per job

    SLA, SLM and SLS are priced per job, not at our filament rates. The instant quote tool covers filament (FDM) printing only.

  • Allow 1 to 2 weeks

    These jobs take longer than a filament print. Plan for about 1 to 2 weeks from an approved quote to handover. Metal can take longer on large parts. Tell us your deadline early and we will tell you if it fits.

  • Finishing on request

    Painting, colour matching, dyeing, polishing, anodising and bead blasting can be added to the quote.

  • Other processes

    Need full colour, casting or a material that is not on this page? Ask us. If it can be done, we will price it for you.

Ready when you are

Send the file, the quantity and your deadline.

SLA, SLM and SLS parts are produced for us by a partner workshop, not in house.
