SLS / PA2200

GOOD MECHANICAL PROPERTIES. FULLY FUNCTIONAL PARTS. SMALL SERIES.

PA2200 is the most commonly used material for the manufacturing of laser-sintered parts. PA2200 is a fine polyamide 12 (PA12) powder with a grain size of 40–90 µm. With its well-balanced profile of properties, the material serves a wide range of applications. PA2200 is biocompatible and certified for use in the food industry. Given their excellent mechanical properties, laser-sintered parts fabricated in PA220 are often used to substitute injection-moulded parts.

The material is available in white colour.

Properties of laser-sintered parts made from PA2200:

• high strength, stiffness and wear resistance
