Sinterit unveils BIANCO2, compact SLS printer for flexible materials

Sinterit’s BIANCO2 is aimed squarely at the pain point that keeps a lot of makers and small production teams on the sidelines of SLS: the jump from “cool prototype” to a machine that actually fits the room, the workflow and the budget. The compact platform runs a 30W RF CO2 laser and is built around an open system architecture, with Sinterit saying it is meant for white, natural, technical and flexible materials rather than a narrow, locked-in material stack.

That matters because SLS earns its keep where FDM and resin start to feel like compromises. You get support-free geometries, powder-backed complex parts and functional nylon components without the same cleanup burden that comes with support removal, while avoiding the outsourcing cycle that can slow down iteration on fit, wall thickness and tolerance. Sinterit said BIANCO2 is meant to move users from prototyping into low-volume production, material development and new business opportunities, with applications spanning engineering parts, consumer products, orthotics, medical components, automotive and mobility parts, industrial tooling and fixtures, and advanced R&D.

The control side is where BIANCO2 starts looking less like a convenience machine and more like a serious process tool. In Sinterit Studio Ultimate, Full Open Parameters gives access to up to 137 adjustable print settings, which is the kind of depth that matters when you are dialing in a new powder, validating a part for repeatability or tuning a profile around an application instead of a generic default. For shops that have outgrown the “press print and hope” phase, that level of process control is the difference between a novelty and a production asset.

The price tells the rest of the story. VoxelMatters reported BIANCO2 is available for preorder at €48,800, or $53,100, with a 15% discount for the first 30 orders that come with 50% prepayment. First deliveries are scheduled for Q4 2026, and preorder support includes application testing, sample prints from customer CAD models and materials consultation with Sinterit engineers. That package makes the launch feel less like a spec-sheet drop and more like a validation play for buyers who need help getting from parts on screen to parts in hand.

Sinterit has been building toward this for a while. The company said it was founded in 2014 after its founders set out to make SLS more accessible, and it introduced the Lisa in 2015. Today’s compact line also includes Lisa X, which Sinterit describes as its fastest, most efficient compact SLS printer, and SUZY, its affordable compact system. BIANCO2 pushes that same compact-SLS strategy further toward open-material experimentation and broader application development, which is exactly what smaller shops have been waiting for while the price of industrial powder-bed systems stayed stubbornly out of reach.
