Enabling the medical technology sector with PA 11
One of the key advantages of incorporating PA 11 for HP Multi Jet Fusion is the ability to address the growing demand for additive manufacturing in the medical technology sector. It offers unique properties that make it well-suited for various medical technology applications with 3D printing. Its biocompatibility, durability, and flexibility enable the production of orthotics, prosthetics, and machinery components with exceptional performance and reliability.

Supporting volume prototyping through early adoption of HP PA 12S
Materialise Manufacturing is among the first adopters of Polyamide 12S for HP Multi Jet Fusion. The material presents itself as a strong option for volume prototyping and parts requiring good surface quality with minimal post-processing needs. Its high level of detail and dimensional accuracy make it suitable for various applications in consumer goods, industrial settings, and volume prototyping projects.

PA-CF: A strong and lightweight contender for industrial applications
Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polyamide (PA-CF) for fused deposition modeling brings a notable advancement in lightweight, high-strength components. Consisting of a thermoplastic filament reinforced with 35% chopped carbon fiber by weight, PA-CF offers exceptional flexural strength, leading to an impressive stiffness-to-weight ratio. This unique combination makes it a favorable alternative to heavier metal components in industries such as industrial machinery, aerospace, and automotive, particularly for tooling, prototyping, and end-use part applications.

The launch of all three materials is scheduled in the coming weeks. Interested parties can register here.
