Functional performance characteristics

• Ideal SLS powder for direct SLS printing of high quality flexible and elastic parts
• Black thermoplastic elastomer SLS powder with very high flexibility and mechanical strength
• Printable by most plastic / polymer powder SLS printers
• Similar properties and printing settings to Poly Ether Block Amide PEBA powders
• Excellent flow and levelling

Processing and handling performance

• Typical narrow particle size distribution in microns, not to be considered a specification:
• D100: 200 (100% of particles have less than 200 microns)
• D90: 150 (90% of particles have less than 150 microns)
• D50: 60 (50% of particles have less than 60 microns)
• D10: 15 (10% of particles have less than 15 microns)
• D1: 3 (1% of particles have less than 3 microns)
• Recommended plastic or polymer powder SLS printers: SLS printer compatibility
• Suitable for FORMIGA P 110 Velocis, EOS P 396, EOS P 770 and EOS P 500
• Recommended printing process: use the std printing parameters of your equivalent polymer powder and follow 3Dresyns IFU for SLS printing

Chemical and safety characteristics
