The Loopzizo K-100 is positioned as a very different kind of 3D printer—one aimed at users who need higher-end results than what most common filament (FDM) or resin (SLA) machines typically deliver. Instead of relying on the familiar spool-and-nozzle approach or liquid resin curing, the K-100 uses industrial-style selective laser sintering (SLS), a method often associated with producing more durable, functional parts.
With SLS printing, objects are still created layer by layer, but the process works by applying material in a powder-like form and then fusing it using a laser. In the case of the Loopzizo K-100, the company specifies a 5-watt laser operating at a 450 nm wavelength. One major advantage promoted with this approach is the ability to create complex geometries—especially designs with overhangs—without needing the support structures that many other 3D printing methods require. That can be particularly appealing for mechanical engineering projects, functional prototypes, and small production runs where part strength and clean geometry matter.
Loopzizo also highlights performance-focused material characteristics. Finished parts are said to handle temperatures up to 120°C, and torsional strength is listed at 50 MPa. Precision is claimed at 100 microns (100 µm), which suggests finer detail potential and the possibility of printing practical components such as threaded parts, depending on design and tolerances.
Despite being an SLS system, the K-100 is described as relatively compact for its category, with outer dimensions of 17.7 x 14.6 x 39.4 inches. Build volume varies based on the mode and material selected. When printing with Polyamide 12 (PA12), the build area is listed at 120 x 120 x 130 mm. Using TPU increases that to 130 x 130 x 130 mm, giving a bit more room for flexible part production.
Ease of use is another area the K-100 leans on. The printer includes a touchscreen for straightforward operation, and it supports producing multiple smaller parts in a single run—useful for batch printing components, test pieces, or small assemblies without restarting the process each time.
The Loopzizo K-100 is currently being promoted through a Kickstarter campaign, with an entry price listed at $5,199 before shipping. As with any crowdfunding purchase, prospective buyers should keep in mind the usual risks that can come with backer-funded hardware projects, including potential changes to timelines, specifications, or final delivery schedules.
