Sinterit’s New Bianco2 SLS Prints White & Faster

Sinterit’s Bianco2 slots right into the company’s compact SLS lineup as a higher-speed, open-material machine. It  shares the same build volume class as the compact Lisa X and Suzy, but differs in one major technical detail: its laser.

Bianco2 (~$55K) uses a 30-W CO2 laser source (instead of the IR fiber lasers on Lisa X and Suzy), which enables it to not only print faster but print with white, natural, and colorable powders.

A CO2 laser can make it easier to process powders without adding dark absorbers, which is useful for R&D, custom materials, certified applications, and parts that need a specific color or appearance. The trade-offs are potentially shorter laser life, more system complexity, and the fact that some polymers may still need tuning or additives.

Still, with Bianco2, Sinterit appears to be targeting users who want the functional advantages of SLS without committing to a large industrial system or closed material workflow. The company’s pitch centers on a compact footprint, broad material compatibility, open parameters, and a path from early testing to low-volume production within a compact machine footprint.

The company lists target applications across a wide range of industries, including medical and orthotics, consumer product design, automotive and mobility, industrial engineering, drones and defense, food-grade and certified applications, R&D, education, and architecture. Example parts shown on the page include lattice structures, housings, mechanical brackets, dental-style models, and lightweight technical components.
