Polyamide 12 (PA 12), commonly known as nylon, is the most extensively tested material for additive manufacturing available today. Parts made from nylon are durable, chemically resistant, and offer long-term stability, making them highly versatile. EOS materials based on polyamide 12 provide a high-performance alternative to plastics like ABS or PA6, which are well-established in injection molding. The additively manufactured end products are equally strong, flexible, and durable as those produced through injection molding.

High Performance

The materials in this polymer family are chemical compounds containing ether and ketone groups. Compared to other plastics, they have exceptionally high glass transition and melting temperatures, making them ideal for high-temperature applications. PAEK materials are semi-crystalline aromatic polyetherketones that maintain excellent mechanical properties even at elevated temperatures, supporting continuous operating temperatures of up to 260°C. These materials are flame-retardant, highly resistant to chemicals and hydrolysis, and offer high stiffness, strength, and excellent tribological properties.

Materials in the TPE polymer class exhibit properties similar to elastomers, making them flexible at room temperature while maintaining dimensional stability. When heated, they can be plastically deformed and processed like thermoplastics. Due to their ease of processing, they are an excellent alternative to cross-linked elastomers and soft PVC.

Polyamide 11 (PA 11), a high-performance plastic, is derived from 100% renewable castor beans. Also known as nylon, PA 11 is both chemically and mechanically heat-resistant, making it perfect for demanding technical applications due to its durability. EOS materials in this category offer an efficient, impact-resistant alternative to plastics like ABS or PA6, which are widely used in injection molding. Additively manufactured end products made from PA 11 are just as strong, flexible, and durable as traditionally molded parts.

Depending on how additively manufactured parts interact with the human body, they must meet specific requirements. The high temperature and chemical resistance of some of our materials make them ideal for a wide range of biocompatible applications and devices. These materials undergo testing for cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, and acute systemic toxicity. To determine if your biocompatibility needs are met, feel free to consult with us.

SLS and FDR technologies require only polymer materials and laser power for production, eliminating the need for agents or binders in the process. This reduces risks from the outset.
