SLS con’t

Powder– Nylon-11

For High Strength and Elasticity

– Nylon-11 with 50% Glass Reinforcement– Nylon-12

Finer Surface Quality but lower elasticity

– Elastomer Simulate Rubber-Like Products

– Strain and Tolerances Available on Website

SLS con’t

No Limitation to Maximum Size– Sintered Parts can be Glued Together Easily

Providing High Strength– Single Part can be 30cm x 30cm x 60cm

Minimum Wall Thickness 0.85 [mm] for PA11

1.00 [mm] for PA11-GF50

0.65 [mm] for PA12

0.60 [mm] for Elastomer
