Maximize your EOS SLS potential?
Let’s talk!What sets us apart?
When it comes to materials for SLS 3D printing, not all powders are created equal. Here’s what makes us different:
- Designed for EOS Machines: Our SLS PA12 and TPU powders are tailored for seamless compatibility with EOS systems, requiring minimal adjustments. Simply run a QA job, and you’re ready to go.
- Plug-and-Play: No complicated setups or custom settings—our powders use the standard exposure settings EOS users know and trust.
- Higher Refresh Rates: Achieve refresh rates of 70/30 on P3 machines and 80/20 on P1 machines with no compromise on surface quality. Reduce waste and increase efficiency.
- Proven Reliability: Thoroughly tested on multiple EOS machines (including P395, P396, P110, P730, P760, and more), our powders deliver consistent, high-quality results.
- Cost-Effective: With unbeatable pricing and lower material usage thanks to higher refresh rates, you can drastically reduce your consumables costs.
The POWDERS
PA12
In white and gray/black
Perfect for everyday use, offering excellent detail and dimensional accuracy.
This versatile material is ideal for general-purpose applications such as prototypes, functional parts, and low-volume production. It provides consistent and reliable performance with a smooth surface finish and great mechanical properties.
PA12-GF
40% glass beads
Reinforced with glass beads for added stiffness and strength, ideal for durable functional parts.
PA12-GF is perfect for structural components that require enhanced rigidity and heat resistance. Its durability makes it suitable for industrial applications, fixtures, and demanding environments where parts need to withstand mechanical stress.
PA12 tough
PA11 like material
Combines the impact resistance and flexibility of PA11 with the printability of PA12, delivering high accuracy and fine detail.
Designed for parts that need to endure impact or repeated stress, making it ideal for many applications. PA12-Tough ensures fine details and dimensional stability while being easier to print than PA11.
TPU
In white and gray/black
Flexible and durable, suitable for elastomeric applications. Our TPU has a shore of 88A.
TPU, a member of the TPE family, is the go-to choice for gaskets, seals, and cushioning parts, offering excellent elasticity and abrasion resistance. It performs exceptionally well in prototypes and end-use parts that require both flexibility and durability.
Cut Costs Without Sacrificing Quality
With traditional SLS printing, material costs often account for the majority of the cost per part. That’s why we’ve developed powders that don’t just perform better but also help you save. Here’s how:
- Affordable Pricing: Our SLS PA12 powder starts at just €45 per kg, offering significant savings compared to standard options.
- Less Waste: Thanks to our industry-leading refresh rates, you’ll use less material over time without affecting surface quality.
- Lower Cost Per Part: By combining affordable prices with reduced material usage, you can drastically cut your consumables budget while maintaining high performance.
