This whitish fine powder PA 2200 on the basis of polyamide 12 serves with its very well-balanced property profile a wide variety of applications. Laser-sintered parts made from PA 2200 possess excellent material properties:
- high strength and stiffness
- excellent long-term constant behaviour
- high selectivity and detail resolution
- various finishing possibilities (e.g. metallisation, stove enamelling, vibratory grinding, tub colouring, bonding, powder coating, flocking)
- bio compatible according to EN ISO 10993-1 and USP/level VI/121 °C
- approved for food contact in compliance with the EU Plastics Directive 2002/72/EC (exception: high alcoholic foodstuff)
Typical applications of the material are fully functional plastic parts of highest quality. Due to the excellent mechanical properties the material is often used to substitute typical injection moulding plastics. The biocompatibility allows its use e.g. for prostheses, the high abrasion resistance allows e.g. the realisation of movable part connections.
150 µm layer thickness:
The Speed parameter set applies the classic 150 µm layer thickness which is popular and widespread on the market due to its allround qualities. This parameter set offers slightly higher surface quality than TopSpeed.
