FIT purchases 30 machines from Sinterit and provides funding for next phase of growth

Sinterit has secured a major order while also receiving fresh financing from FIT Additive Manufacturing Group. Based in Germany, FIT is a key shareholder in Sinterit and has confirmed the purchase of more than thirty Lisa X and Suzy 3D printers. At the same time, FIT has extended a working capital loan to support Sinterit’s next stage of development.

Carl Fruth, CEO of FIT AG, emphasized the strategic significance of this partnership: “The additive manufacturing market is extremely challenging for many companies right now. However, we are convinced that a new industry is emerging—one where the combination of artificial intelligence and 3D printing will finally deliver on the promise of additive manufacturing: high-quality products with short lead times and competitive costs. Sinterit’s range of SLS machines delivers exactly that. We will continue to invest in additive manufacturing, and Sinterit will be a key player in this industry.”

One of Sinterit’s most notable recent advancements is the launch of its PA11.5 powder. Specifically engineered for the Lisa X and Suzy printers, this powder enables the production of highly complex nylon parts that combine dimensional accuracy, durability, and flexibility. Another significant advantage lies in its cost, as Sinterit’s PA11.5 is priced well below any other PA11 powder currently available in the market.

Although PA11.5 has only just entered the industry, its benefits are already becoming evident. A recent case study highlighted how the use of PA11.5 powder, together with the Suzy printer, can lead to highly cost-effective production. This example underlines the growing importance of solutions that combine strong technical performance with economic efficiency.

Łukasz Adach, CFO of Sinterit, explained this approach: “In today’s selective laser sintering market, there is only one success factor: you must offer the lowest cost for a specific application. The days when you could simply sell a machine and let the customer figure out how to use it are over. Equally, the time when success meant producing something—no matter the cost—has also passed. Today, the overriding criterion is the cost per part.”

While filament-based 3D printers continue to serve a wide range of applications, demand for selective laser sintering (SLS) technology is growing—particularly in industries that require complex geometries and superior surface quality.

Adach added: “In most cases, customers still choose filament-based printers for good reasons. But when intricate shapes and high surface specifications are required, SLS remains unmatched. Sinterit will continue to provide customers with the best balance of cost and quality in the industry. Achieving this cannot be done with printer technology alone—artificial intelligence and specialized powders will play an increasingly critical role in the future. Sinterit is fully prepared for this shift.”
