Advantages
Broad usability
PTG PA12b is exploitable on common systems for powder-based additive fabrication such as High Speed Sintering (HSS), Powder Bed Fusion (PBF), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) and many more.
Practical
PTG PA12b is easy-to-process, has high process stability, has excellent powder flow properties, has excellent surface resolution and feature detail, a nice surface finish, has good energy absorption over a wide wavelength range and exhibits good mechanical properties.
Reusable
PTG PA12b exhibits the market’s best reusability rate of 100 percent of the structure support powder after a printing while circulating powder material of a refresh rate of 70/30 (used/ virgin) in comparison to common powders with refresh rates of typically 50/50 (used/virgin) while providing stable part properties and surface quality over several cycles.
Applications
PTG PA12b's material properties make it suitable for a wide range of demanding applications, including lightweight automotive or aerospace parts, medical devices with temporary body contact, and metal-free solutions for the oil and gas industry.
