The AMUG 2026 DINO and Technical Competition awards have focused on the evolution of SLS 3D printing. The winners stand out for improving productivity and quality, with systems that reduce sintering times and increase part reliability. Advanced software and an automated post-processing solution complete the list of recognized innovations.
High-speed laser sintering and optimized workflows 🚀
The new award-winning powder bed printer integrates high-speed laser sintering technology, achieving shorter manufacturing cycles without sacrificing dimensional accuracy. In parallel, the award-winning process control software allows monitoring key variables in real time, adjusting parameters to avoid defects. The automated post-processing solution, for its part, eliminates bottlenecks by integrating cleaning and finishing in a single station, reducing manual intervention.
The award for the patience of the one waiting for post-processing ☕
While engineers celebrate the new SLS printer that prints at cruising speed, post-processing technicians have received their own award: a machine that does the dirty work without complaint. Now, instead of spending hours removing dust with compressed air, they can focus on what really matters: watching the machine work and drinking coffee. Of course, the control software is still watching, just in case someone tries to take too long a break.
