SLS Polypropylene

SLS polypropylene is a lightweight, ductile, chemically resistant plastic that tolerates repeated bending. It is suited to durable functional parts, though it softens at around 60 °C under load.

SLS

Food Safe SLS Nylon PA12

SLS food safe nylon PA12 is a durable, chemical-resistant nylon made from a powder grade certified for food contact, suited to tools and components used in food processing.

SLS Nylon PA6

Nylon PA6 is a stiff, heat-resistant nylon that is stronger than PA12 when dry. It is sutiable for rigid functional parts, though it absorbs more moisture and is less flexible.

SLS

SLS PEEK

SLS PEEK is a high-performance thermoplastic that offers high tensile strength, good heat resistance, and broad chemical resistance in a lightweight part, if with low ductility.

SLS

SLS Nylon PA6 Carbon Fiber

SLS PA6 carbon fiber is a stiff, dimensionally stable nylon composite with higher heat resistance than unfilled PA6. It is suitable for rigid structural parts, though it has low ductility.

SLS

SLS Nylon PA11 Carbon Fiber

SLS PA11 carbon fiber is a stiff, lightweight nylon composite with much higher stiffness and heat resistance under load than standard PA11. It is best used for rigid parts, though with less ductility.

SLS

SLS Nylon PA66

Nylon PA66 is a strong, stiff nylon with good chemical resistance and heat tolerance, well above PA12 in strength and stiffness, though it absorbs far more moisture.

SLS

SLS Glass-Filled Nylon PA6

SLS glass-filled nylon PA6 is a very stiff nylon composite with high heat deflection (about 200 °C under load). It's a good choice for rigid, heat-exposed functional parts, though the material is not flexible and still absorbs moisture.

SLS

Alumide

Alumide is an aluminum-filled nylon 12 with a metallic gray look, high stiffness, and heat deflection around 144 °C under load, suited to rigid parts, jigs, and models, though it is less flexible than standard nylon.

SLS

BASF® Glass Fiber Polypropylene

Glass-filled polypropylene is a tough material with high strength that is also resistant to high temperatures. It is suitable for functional verification of product prototypes.

SLS

SLS PK

SLS PK is a tough, ductile polyketone with excellent chemical and fuel resistance, very low moisture absorption, and low friction and wear, suited to functional parts exposed to fluids, though it is somewhat less stiff than PA12.

SLS

SLS PEKK-CF

SLS PEKK-CF is a carbon-fiber-reinforced PEKK that is very stiff and holds its shape under load up to roughly 200 °C. It is a good option for rigid high-temperature parts, though it is brittle and weaker across the layers.

SLS

SLS PEBA

SLS PEBA is a lightweight, flexible polyether block amide elastomer with high energy return and rubber-like fatigue resistance that stays flexible down to about -40 °C. It's suited to dampers and cushioning parts.

SLS

Food Safe Metal Detectable SLS Nylon PA12

SLS food safe metal detectable nylon PA12 is a blue, food-contact-certified PA12 that contains metal particles, so stray fragments can be caught by metal detectors and X-ray inspection on food production lines.

SLS

SLS Flexible TPE

SLS flexible TPE is a rubber-like elastomer, available from very soft to firm, that withstands repeated bending and vibration, suited to gaskets, dampers, and soft functional parts, though it is weak and softens at modest temperatures.

Flame Retardant SLS Nylon PA12

Flame retardant SLS nylon PA12 is PA12 formulated to self-extinguish, with fire ratings such as UL 94 V-0 that depend on wall thickness, suited to electrical and transport components, though it is less ductile than standard PA12.

SLS

SLS Nylon PA11-ESD

SLS PA11 ESD is a bio-based, castor-oil nylon with much lower surface resistance than standard PA11. It dissipates static charge from tools, jigs, and housings used around sensitive electronics.

SLS

SLS Glass-Filled Nylon PA12

SLS glass-filled nylon PA12 is a stiff, wear-resistant PA12 with higher heat deflection under load than standard nylon, suited to rigid functional parts, though it is less ductile.

SLS

SLS Glass-Filled Polypropylene

SLS glass-filled polypropylene is a stiffer, stronger polypropylene that resists heat much better under load (around 130 °C) than unfilled PP, with good chemical resistance, although it is denser and less ductile.
