SLS and HSS PBF Materials
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is a versatile 3D printing technology, often used for functional prototyping, small-batch production and end-use parts. SLS parts can be found in airplanes, wearables, machine components, production tools and more. With SLS, a laser fuses together polymer powder particles, building a part layer by layer. This print method is best for producing high-accuracy functional prototypes and parts with complex geometries. Since the powder supports the part as it’s printed, no additional supports are needed.
With High-Speed Sintering (HSS) PBF (Powder Bed Fusion) a thin layer of powder is applied to a building platform. An inkjet print head moves over the entire surface of the platform, depositing an infrared-absorbing fluid directly onto the powder where fusing is desired. The build area is then illuminated with infrared light, fusing the powder under the fluid into a layer.
PBT Material – Addigy® P1210
PBT powder for selective laser sintering (SLS) with excellent dielectric properties. With production readiness extensively proven by an independent global manufacturing leader. Wide sinter window. High re-use rate; recyclable to the extent that the material can be brought back to the powder bed process.
TPC Material – Addigy® P3001
Soft elastomeric material for SLS printing with very high energy return of >70%. Certified ISO 10993-5 Cytotoxicity, ISO 10995-10 Irritation & Sensitization. Meets requirements of Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC. Easy to process without common side effects such as odors. For footwear, sporting goods as well as industrial applications.
TPU Materials – Addigy® PPU 83A X1, PPU 86A W6, and PPU 90A X6
Range of thermoplastic polyurethane powders for SLS and HSS PBF, with varying properties to accommodate applications across industries.
