Introducing Sinter (YC F26)

We're bringing accelerated plastics manufacturing back to the US.

@Slant3D Means a lot!

@justmetolife We deploy molds within 48 hours, as opposed to weeks to months long timelines from conventional hardened steel tooling

[Sinter @sintersystems]

@fishjar This is completely true. Our acceleration comes in the form of tooling production on reduced timelines, not running the machines faster.

@Kinch_ahoy 200 is quite the understatement :)

@HolbrookAero We’ve heard this from dozens of hardware teams. We’re here to make that mindset shift.

[Sinter @sintersystems]

The form 4BL is able to reach a lower floor of 25 microns when in its unlocked OMM (Open Material Mode)

We use special formulated photopolymer resins to extract maximum part cycles from each tool.

Regarding efficiency for some order quantities, it’s absolutely true SLA is more affordable for lower quantities (and we offer that capability as well for developing teams)
However, many teams use our capabilities to validate mold design using end use materials, including many that cannot be printed additively. These runs can have very low part count, but those parts are still a far more affordable alternative than creating hardened steel tooling every time a design needs validation.

Hope this answers your questions!

@KenCondon1 Geometry and material choice affect shot counts significantly, but that number is of our utmost priority. Because this number is not set in stone, clients are never charged on tooling cost, only an amortized unit part cost that does not change after production begins.

Additively produced tooling allows accuracy as low as 20 microns, allowing complex geometries and smooth transitions for curved surfaces.
