About

PA 2200 (Polyamide 12) is a high-performance thermoplastic powder designed for Selective Laser Sintering (SLS). It provides excellent mechanical properties, including high impact resistance and significant thermal stability.

Because SLS requires no support structures, PA 2200 allows for total geometric freedom, making it perfect for complex internal channels or nested parts.

Common use cases include biocompatible medical devices, high-stress functional housings, and durable consumer goods.
