Polymer Powder for Additive Manufacturing
Coming soon: Working with our partner to supply high-quality, ready-mixed PA12 polymer powder for Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), designed to reduce build failures, powder waste, and handling while improving part quality and consistency. Backed by extensive expertise, our powder is carefully prepared to ensure smooth system operation and reproducible results. We offer two supply options:
(1) Ready-to-use mixed PA12 powder – Supply only. We supply mixed, ready-to-use PA12 material, eliminating the need for onsite refreshing, sieving, or acclimatization. This allows immediate use on site, perfect for new powder cycles where known powder quality is needed or where smaller batches of material are required.
(2) Recycling and regeneration of your powder – Our closed-loop system regenerates your used powder back to ready-to-use material, significantly reducing onsite powder handling and wastage, and providing powder of optimum quality for your process.
Benefits
Your process success rate will improve through a proven increase in the quality of parts and system performance. The process of powder supply also offer a more sustainability solution. More details will follow.
Quality
Optimized powder preparation for laser sintering ensures consistent processing performance, higher component quality, and reduced rejects. Large homogeneous mixing batches, moisture conditioning, double sieving, and melt flow analysis enable reliable, reproducible results. Each delivery includes a test certificate, guaranteeing traceability and compliance. Customized processing, expert support, and reusable containers streamline production, minimise waste, and free up resources, making ready-to-use powder a crucial quality link in your additive manufacturing process.
Performance
Professional powder preparation significantly enhances the performance of the laser sintering processes by ensuring consistent material quality and reliable flow characteristics, resulting in minimal job failures.
Homogeneous mixing, moisture conditioning, and double sieving reduce variability and prevent issues like electrostatic charging or contamination, which can disrupt production, causing costly failures and delays. Optimizing the refresh rate and adapting sieving fineness to component requirements further improves part quality and repeatability. These practices minimise downtime, reduce rejects, and support stable, high-efficiency production, leading to smoother operations and better overall system performance.
Sustainability
The optimisation of preparation and delivery processes for ready-to-use powder materials significantly contributes to sustainable manufacturing across several critical areas.
By reclaiming and reconditioning used powder in large homogeneous batches, material waste is significantly reduced. Moisture conditioning and double sieving prevent quality-related failures, which in turn lowers the number of rejected parts and conserves resources. The use of reusable containers minimises packaging waste, while tailored delivery reduces unnecessary inventory and transport. These practices collectively lower the environmental footprint and support more responsible, resource-efficient production.
The process will also allow for a sustainable solution for low quality powder.
