On August 28, the three-day Formnext Shenzhen exhibition successfully concluded at the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center. Zhuhai Zongheng Additive Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd. made a notable appearance with several innovative products. The newly launched desktop SLS1518 Selective Laser Sintering 3D printer emerged as a standout attraction, capturing significant attention from professional visitors, industry experts, and media with its compact design, outstanding performance, and broad application potential.
Grand Launch: Desktop SLS1518—Small Size, Big Power
At Zongheng Additive’s booth, the SLS1518 was undoubtedly the star of the show. With a compact build volume of 1518 cm³ (150×150×180 mm) and a true desktop design, it redefines the application boundaries of SLS technology. It not only inherits the core advantages of industrial-grade SLS technology—such as support-free printing, high precision, compatibility with various non-metal powder materials (nylon/TPU/carbon fiber/glass fiber), and batch production capability—but also breaks new ground in cost efficiency, ease of operation, and space adaptability.
The SLS1518 is particularly well-suited for functional prototyping, small-batch end-part production, lightweight complex piping structures (aerospace, automotive, medical), early-stage product development sampling, and educational and research testing. Many visitors noted that a truly desktop SLS device like this significantly lowers the barrier to entry, allowing more small and medium-sized teams to experience the benefits of laser sintering technology.
Lively On-site Interaction and Fruitful Professional Exchange
Throughout the exhibition, Zongheng Additive’s booth was consistently crowded. The technical team provided detailed explanations of the SLS1518’s features and printing process to visitors, complemented by live printing demonstrations that clearly illustrated the equipment in operation. Many clients from education, design, healthcare, and other sectors expressed strong interest in collaboration, affirming that the SLS1518 meets the market’s urgent need for a “lightweight, low-cost, high-performance” desktop SLS solution.
In addition, Zongheng3d was invited to participate in multiple on-site interviews and networking events, engaging in in-depth discussions on topics such as “Desktop SLS Technology Trends” and “Innovations in Educational Manufacturing.”
A Successful Conclusion, But the Journey Continues
Although Formnext Shenzhen has ended, Zongheng Additive’s innovation journey is just gaining momentum. This exhibition not only successfully launched the flagship SLS1518 but also garnered recognition and valuable feedback from numerous potential clients and industry partners. We sincerely thank all visitors, customers, and partners who stopped by our booth. Zongheng Additive remains committed to delivering “lightweight, intelligent, and accessible” additive manufacturing solutions, continuously promoting the adoption of 3D printing technology in more small and medium-sized studios, laboratories, and classrooms.
