Laser sintering is the most efficient and durable technology for making end-use products. This, however, mainly applies to white nylon (and sometimes black or alumide) products, as SLS is not very efficient when it comes to colored prints. That, incidentally, is what end users generally look for.虽然全彩激光烧结仍然是一个海市rage楼，但EOSfounderHans J. Langer- 可以说是最了解世界上激光插图过程的人之一 - 至少希望SLS产品具有耐用的颜色涂层。因此，他投资了由一家总部位于德国慕尼黑的公司开发的着色技术DyeMansion.
Invented by the company’s co-founders, CEO Felix Ewald and CTO Philipp Kramer, DyeMansion’s colouring technique allows for a stable, cost-efficient and scalable coloring solution that also has the benefit of improving other characteristic of the printed part, including surface appearance and dirt, water and abrasion resistance.
Felix Ewald explained that, with the increasing use of laser sintering in the production of additively manufactured serial parts, the demand for a simple, efficient and easily scalable coloring solution that provides, not only high quality, but also easily reproducible coloring results has intensified.“DyeMansion,”他说，“现在提供了该解决方案。得益于Langer博士及其一系列公司的支持，包括全球工业3D印刷技术领导者，我们现在拥有使我们的愿景成为现实的最佳条件。”
染色体着色过程已经在商业上可用，零件在提交后的两天内进行着色，抛光和防水。Dyemansion目前提供八种标准颜色（黑色，蓝色，绿色，黄色，紫色，红色，灰色和粉红色），但最终计划提供整个RAL颜色范围。“A stable, cost-efficient and scalable coloring solution is an essential component for further developing additive manufacturing applications. In DyeMansion, we have found a good technology partner for that purpose,”兰格博士确认。
随着许多新的SLS 3D打印机制造商在市场上弹出，并且很快就会出现，EOS自然希望保持领先地位。确保最佳SLS着色技术是一种很好的方法，它将使整个3D打印消费产品市场受益。
