Polish selective laser sintering (SLS) system manufacturer Sinterit has come under interim court supervision. A temporary court supervisor was appointed on October 28, 2026, following a bankruptcy petition the company filed in July. In a statement on LinkedIn, the company said it is winding down manufacturing operations while working with the court on options to continue service, consulting and sales activities, with the aim of protecting creditors and customers as far as possible.
The procedural record traces the company's final two years. Restructuring proceedings were registered on April 17 in an attempt to reach an agreement with creditors and remain ongoing. A bankruptcy case opened on June 5 was later closed, while a new case registered on July 23 remains active. During these proceedings the company still released its BIANCO2 compact SLS 3D printer. Its website is no longer operational.
Sinterit's difficulties built over several years. Formlabs entered the compact SLS market in 2021 with the Fuse 1, which industry observers estimate took close to half of the segment. Sintratec, the Swiss manufacturer that helped establish the category alongside Sinterit, filed for bankruptcy in early 2024. Sinterit survived longer largely because of German group FIT AG, its main shareholder, which recapitalized the company several times and bought its printers.
A Formlabs spokesperson said the company was "sad to see another ecosystem player leave the arena" and noted that "SLS is a tough technology to crack", adding that Formlabs has prepared a migration offer for Sinterit customers.
