Materials

38 materials ready to produce, chosen because they work. Next to each one you find the figures from the technical datasheets and from our price list — not those of a brochure.

An operator in blue gloves opens the drawer of a powder-bed printer at the end of a run, the parts still buried in the powder.

Multi Jet Fusion

The unfused powder supports the parts as they build: no dedicated supports are needed, and cavities and undercuts become possible. Cavities and channels must allow the powder to be removed.

  • PA12 S
  • PA12 Black
  • PA12
  • PA12 W
  • PA11
