Polyamide 11 powder for Laser Sintering

Ultrasint PA11, a bio-based material (castor oil), is an interesting alternative to PA12. Parts produced with this material show a high elongation at break, elasticity and high impact resistance. Typical applications are in environments where high deformations (e.g. film hinges) and/or exposure to special surroundings (e.g. chemical, detergents, oil) may occur. Due to its high ductility, it does not splinter in most crash situations. Ultrasint PA11 can be used for skin contact applications. It is processable on most common LS printers. Parameters for printing will be provided.

Typical applications are:

• Car interior parts

• Bumper components

• Film hinges

• Functional prototypes and spare parts

• Medium-loaded series parts
