Characteristics

Uses: Objects made of PA 1101, which is based on polyamide 11, feature very high flexibility and resistance to chemicals. This material is used for functional prototypes with high resistance to thermal and mechanical stress.

Process: laser sintering

Characteristics

Uses: PA12 (PA2200) is a powder based on polyamide 12. Components made of this material usually feature a rather rough surface. PA12 is often used for fully functional components and as a substitute material for injection molding materials.

Process: laser sintering 

Characteristics

PA 12 Grey is a pigment-filled polyamide powder developed by Oceanz for the manufacturing of laser sintered parts that are grey throughout.

Typical applications for the material are fully functional parts in design quality subject to high mechanical or thermal loads. The grey appearance often looks better in technical areas than white parts. As this colour is throughout, scratches or subsequent holes do not degrade the appearance. The parts are also less susceptible to soiling, as soiling is less conspicuous against the grey background.

Process: laser sintering 

Characteristics

Uses: PA 12 GF is a glass bead-filled powder based on polyamide 12 and is used in products for which stiffness, heat resistance and low wear are important considerations.

Process: laser sintering

Characteristics

Uses: Alumide is an aluminum-filled powder based on polyamide 12 and has a metallic appearance. Objects made of alumide feature high stiffness. This material is used for functional prototypes with a metallic appearance. 

Process: laser sintering

Characteristics

Uses: Objects made of PrimePart PLUS PA 2221 based on polyamide 12 usually feature a rather rough surface. This material is often used for fully functional components and as a substitute material for injection molding materials.

Process: laser sintering 

Characteristics

Uses: PA 2241 FR based on polyamide 12 includes a halogen-free chemical fire retardant and is often used in applications involving insulation.

Process: laser sintering

Characteristics

Usage: TPU-90 is a thermoplastic material used in flexible parts and products. It is especially well suited to producing seals. 

Process: laser sintering

Characteristics

Uses: PEEK HP3 is is a high-performance polymer characterized by very high resistance to heat, wear and chemicals. Because of its outstanding characteristics, it is used as a metal substitute in the medical, aerospace, automotive and motor sports sectors. 

Process: laser sintering 

Uses: PA6x is a powder based on polyamid 6.13. PA6x is mostly used for high temperature applications and high mechanical loads. In comparison with the standard SLS material PA2200, PA6x offers a higher elongation at break (30 %) and a higher tensile strength (58 MPa). The high youngs modulus of 2300 MPa is an additional advantage of PA6x over PA2200 (1650 MPa).

Uses: Polypropylene (PP) is a standard plastic used in the manufacture of many everyday objects. Thanks to its extremely long durability and excellent chemical resistance, PP is preferred for producing vehicle body and interior moldings. Packaging of all kinds, medical devices and household items are also produced from the thermoplastic.
