Industrial Power on Your Desk: Loopzizo K-100 Democratizes SLS Printing

For years, Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) has been the "holy grail" of 3D printing. It offers support-free, industrial-strength parts, but the machines are typically massive, expensive, and require a dedicated lab. Loopzizo aims to shatter that barrier with the K-100, a desktop SLS printer designed to bring professional powder-bed fusion to small studios, engineers, and hobbyists.


Project Overview

Name and Creator: Loopzizo K-100: The Affordable Desktop SLS 3D Printer by Loopzizo.

What It Is: The K-100 is a compact, fully enclosed SLS 3D printer. Unlike filament (FDM) or resin (SLA) printers, it uses a high-powered laser to sinter nylon powder layer by layer. This process allows for complex geometries, interlocking parts, and durable prototypes without the need for support structures. Status: The project is currently active and has raised significant funding. It is scheduled to conclude in early 2026.


Key Features

  • Support-Free Printing: Because the parts are suspended in un-sintered powder during the print process, you can create complex overhangs, internal channels, and moving assemblies (like gears or chains) in a single print run without any support material to remove.

  • Desktop Form Factor: It shrinks industrial tech into a machine that fits on a standard workbench. The fully enclosed design and air filtration system make it safe for office or home environments.

  • Material Versatility: The K-100 supports industry-standard materials like PA12 (Nylon) for rigid, durable parts and TPU for flexible, rubber-like components.

  • High Precision: It features a 5W 450nm laser capable of achieving 0.1mm precision, delivering smooth surfaces and functional mechanical fits right out of the chamber.

  • Efficient Workflow: The printer includes features like auto-slicing and a dual powder recovery system (manual or auto) to minimize waste and simplify the often messy process of depowdering.


Rewards

  • Kickstarter Pricing:

    • Super Early Bird: Backers can secure the K-100 printer for a significantly reduced price compared to the planned retail cost (exact tiers vary by availability but offer substantial savings).

    • Bundles: Higher tiers include the Loopzizo H1, an all-in-one post-processing station that handles depowdering and powder recycling, creating a complete end-to-end workflow.

  • Delivery: Shipping is estimated to begin in May 2026.


Concept

The core concept is "Accessibility." Loopzizo wants to do for SLS what the MakerBot did for FDM. They believe that engineers and designers shouldn't have to outsource their high-performance parts to service bureaus. By making the hardware affordable and the workflow "clean" (containing the powder mess), they are empowering users to manufacture end-use parts in-house.


Inspiration

The team was inspired by the gap in the market between $300 hobbyist printers and $30,000 industrial machines. They realized that while FDM and SLA are great, they have limitations in strength and geometry. They built the K-100 to provide a "third option" for creators who need the mechanical properties of injection-molded plastic without the high cost of entry.
