First Mold: Harnessing SLS 3D Printing to Solidify Industry Leadership

First Mold Manufacturing Limited, established in 2011, has long been a key player in the highly competitive prototype manufacturing industry. In 2015, it was quick to spot the potential of SLS 3D printing technology and introduced advanced equipment. SLS, a powder - bed - based laser additive process, offers numerous benefits like creating complex parts without support structures. First Mold has since applied this technology across automotive, consumer electronics, and other sectors, achieving great results. With a team of over 200 experienced professionals and an integrated operation system, First Mold maximizes SLS's advantages. Looking ahead, it will keep investing in SLS 3D printing, broadening its applications and collaborating with partners to further its leading position in the industry.

In the highly competitive prototype manufacturing industry, First Mold Manufacturing Limited has held an important position with its innovative and excellent technical capabilities since its establishment in 2011. As the industry continues to develop, First Mold actively embraces new technologies and regards SLS 3D printing technology as a new business growth point for the company, demonstrating strong development potential.

SLS, as a laser additive manufacturing process based on powder bed, has significant advantages such as no need for support structures and the ability to produce complex geometric shapes and functional components. It has a wide range of applicable materials, including polymer powders, metal powders, and more. This technology shows great application prospects in the prototype manufacturing field, especially in scenarios with high demands for functional verification and small - batch production. Compared with traditional SLA and FDM technologies, SLS - printed components have higher precision and durability, and can meet the requirements of complex structures and high - performance applications. It has been widely used in many industries such as automotive, aerospace, consumer electronics, and more.
As early as September 2015, First Mold acutely perceived the development trend of SLS 3D printing technology and resolutely introduced advanced SLS equipment. Before that, relying on its deep accumulation in fields such as CNC machining and SLA stereolithography 3D printing, the company had provided high - quality prototype manufacturing services for numerous customers. After introducing SLS technology, First Mold further improved its process system, enabling it to provide more comprehensive and high - quality solutions for customers.
Since the introduction of SLS 3D printing equipment, First Mold has continuously explored the application of this technology in different industries and achieved remarkable results. In the automotive industry, it prints high - performance nylon - material components for customers, meeting the strict requirements in the functional verification stage. In the consumer electronics field, it uses SLS technology to produce product models with complex structures, helping customers accelerate the product development process. Through these successful cases, First Mold has not only enhanced its popularity within the industry but also won the high recognition and trust of customers.
Currently, First Mold has a team of over 200 professional and technical personnel who have rich experience in the application and research and development of SLS 3D printing technology. The company's internal design, R & D, and production departments closely collaborate to ensure that every link from product design to final production can be completed efficiently and accurately. This integrated operation model enables First Mold to fully utilize the advantages of SLS technology, achieve rapid iterative design and efficient production, and provide high - quality and customized prototype manufacturing services for customers.
In the future, First Mold will continue to increase its investment in SLS 3D printing technology, continuously improve equipment performance and technical levels, expand application fields, and provide more innovative and competitive solutions for customers. At the same time, the company will also actively engage in exchanges and cooperation with industry partners to jointly promote the widespread application and development of SLS 3D printing technology in the prototype manufacturing industry and consolidate its leading position within the industry.
