Snowwhite2: An affordable SLS printer
High-End SLS Research Within Reach: The SnowWhite2 Philosophy
In the world of additive manufacturing, Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) has long been synonymous with prohibitive costs and “black box” systems. At Sharebot, we are changing that narrative. We believe that groundbreaking research shouldn’t be reserved only for the largest industrial giants.
The SnowWhite2 was engineered to break these barriers, positioning itself in an accessible price bracket that bridges the gap between desktop prototyping and industrial production. By keeping the investment cost significantly lower than traditional SLS systems, we ensure that cutting-edge technology remains within reach for those who need it most.
A Dedicated Partner for Universities
We have a soft spot for the academic world. We know that universities and research centers are the true engines of innovation, often working with ambitious goals but finite budgets.
That’s why we’ve tailored the SnowWhite2 to be the ideal laboratory companion:
-
It features a CO2 laser that matches the exact wavelength of industrial-grade machinery, allowing you to seamlessly replicate and scale industrial processes (→learn why).
-
Its open-parameter nature allows students and researchers to experiment freely with the technology and novel polymers.
-
Our support team works closely with departments to ensure the machine remains a long-term asset for PhD programs and material science departments alike.
Engineering for Longevity and Accessibility
The SnowWhite2 isn’t just a powerful tool featuring a 14W CO2 laser and open parameters; it is a masterpiece of sustainable industrial design. Unlike many competitors who lock users into expensive, proprietary supply chains, we took a different path:
-
In-House Hardware & Software: By designing both the mechanics and the control software internally, we’ve eliminated the “middleman” costs. This vertical integration allows us to pass the savings directly to you.
-
Standardized Industrial Components: We’ve carefully selected high-quality components available through major global distributors. This means that in the rare event a standard part needs replacing, you aren’t waiting weeks for a custom shipment from a single factory; you can find what you need locally, wherever you are in the world.
-
Built to Last: Every internal component is chosen with a focus on durability. We prioritize robust, mechanical simplicity over over-engineered complexity, ensuring the SnowWhite2 remains a workhorse in your lab for years.
Remote Diagnostics: Our R&D Team in Your Lab
We know that downtime is the enemy of discovery. If you encounter a technical challenge or a process hiccup, you don’t have to wait for a technician to fly out to your facility.
Our support model is as agile as our printer, through a local PC and secure remote access software, our in-house R&D department can connect directly to your SnowWhite2.
This allows our engineers to perform real-time diagnostics, identify the exact issue, and provide the most efficient solution, often resolving the problem in hours rather than days.
It’s professional-grade support that respects both your timeline and your budget.
