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.
180 µm layer thickness:
TopSpeed is a very economical parameter set for parts with medium to high requirements of quality and mechanical load and high cost pressure. Particularly large and relatively thick-walled parts can usually profit from this layer thickness, mostly without any noticeable impairment from the fast build-up rates.
