Sinterit Lisa X SLS 3D Printer — Industrial-Grade Solution for Rapid Drone Component Manufacturing
In the drone manufacturing industry, rapid iteration and lightweight design are the core of competition. The Sinterit Lisa X is an industrial-grade SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) 3D printer developed by Polish company Sinterit, specifically designed for rapid prototyping and small-batch production of drone components. It features a 30W laser, open architecture, and support for multiple high-strength materials, enabling you to transform designs into physical parts in just 24-48 hours, without support structures or additional processing.
As Taiwan's official authorized distributor, QTS Taiwan has served 50+ drone-related enterprises and deeply understands every aspect of drone manufacturing. We don't just provide equipment; we offer comprehensive support from material selection, technical training to long-term maintenance.
Why Drone Manufacturers Choose Lisa X?
1. 【Rapid Prototyping】— From Design to Finished Product in 24-48 Hours
Traditional manufacturing methods require 2-4 weeks lead time, while the Lisa X needs only 24-48 hours. This means you can quickly validate designs, conduct flight tests, gather feedback, and iterate improvements. Compared to traditional methods, the development cycle can be reduced by over 80%.
The SAE Aero Design competition case fully demonstrates this: Warsaw University of Technology students completed design-to-part delivery in just 7 days, enabling multiple rounds of flight testing, ultimately achieving top-three finishes in international competitions.
2. 【Lightweight Design】— 40% Weight Reduction, 18% Flight Time Improvement
Drone flight time is directly determined by weight. Lisa X-printed parts using PA12 and PA11 CF (Carbon Fiber Reinforced) materials can achieve 40% weight reduction compared to traditional manufacturing methods, resulting in up to 18% improvement in flight time.
For example, a drone originally with 30-minute flight time can be extended to 35+ minutes using Lisa X-printed lightweight arms and structural components, which in commercial applications means more operational time and higher return on investment.
3. 【Complex Geometry in Single Shot】— Maximum Design Freedom
The core advantage of SLS technology is no support structures required. Drone designers can freely design complex internal structures, cooling channels, lightweight lattices, and more without worrying about support removal and post-processing. Compared to FDM 3D printing, this significantly simplifies the design and manufacturing process.
You can design complex structures that traditional manufacturing methods cannot achieve, such as internally latticed arm connection brackets that are both light and strong.
4. 【Small-Batch Production Economics】— No Tooling Required, Costs Continuously Decrease
Drone manufacturing typically involves small-batch orders (100-1000 units). The Lisa X requires no tooling, and unit costs decrease with increasing batch size. PA12 unit costs approximately NT$30-40 per part, compared to traditional injection molding requiring 100,000-500,000 yuan tooling investment, SLS offers a more flexible and economical solution.
You can flexibly adjust production volume based on market demand without worrying about tooling costs.
5. 【Functional Parts, Direct Use】— Not Prototypes, But Final Products
Lisa X-printed parts have completely isotropic mechanical properties with uniformly distributed strength. This means printed drone components can be used directly as functional parts and end-use products, not just prototypes. You can directly assemble printed components onto drones without additional processing or reinforcement.
6. 【Open Material System】— Adapted to Specific Application Needs
The Lisa X supports multiple materials, including PA12, PA11.5, PA11 CF (Carbon Fiber), PA11 ESD, and more. The open architecture allows users to develop their own material formulations tailored to specific drone application requirements. Whether you need ultra-high-strength arms or electrostatic dissipative electronic component seats, the Lisa X can meet your needs.
Typical UAV Application Scenarios
-
Drone Arms and Connection Brackets: Drone arms experience the highest stresses. Lisa X can print complex arm connection brackets with internal lattice structures to reduce weight while maintaining sufficient strength.
-
Motor Mounts and ESC Holders: Motor mounts require precise geometry and high strength. Lisa X can create complex mount structures in a single shot without requiring multiple component assembly, improving reliability.
-
Battery Holders and Protective Covers: Battery holders require precise fitting and protective functionality. Lisa X can print customized battery holders ensuring secure battery mounting and optimal weight distribution.
-
Sensor Brackets and Antenna Mounts: Various sensors (cameras, radar, LiDAR) and antennas on drones require precise mounting positions. Lisa X can print customized brackets ensuring optimal sensor mounting angles and stability.
-
Landing Gear and Protective Components: Landing gear must absorb landing impacts. Lisa X can print landing gear with special structures to improve landing safety.
-
Custom Accessories and Upgrade Components: Drone users frequently need custom accessories. Lisa X makes rapid custom component manufacturing possible, opening new business opportunities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Lisa X suitable for drone manufacturing?
A: Absolutely. The Lisa X's open architecture, industrial-grade speed, and multi-material compatibility make it an ideal choice for drone manufacturing. We have served 50+ drone enterprises and accumulated extensive experience.
Q: Is the strength of drone components sufficient?
A: Yes. Lisa X-printed parts have completely isotropic mechanical properties with uniformly distributed strength. PA12 and PA11 CF materials fully meet drone stress requirements.
Q: How many drone components can be printed per week?
A: Depending on component size and complexity, the Lisa X can print 5-7 complete build spaces of components per week. Each build space can accommodate dozens to hundreds of small components.
Q: How much post-processing is required after printing?
