3D-POWDER SLS PLA20-80 is a specifically designed fine and narrow particle size distribution Polylactic Acid PLA powder for SLS printing of high accuracy and resolution PLA printed parts
3D-POWDER SLS PLA20-80 has these features and benefits:
- transparent SLS powder for direct SLS printing of biodegradable, absorbable, resorbable, and biocompatible medical parts
- excellent bioactivity and osteogenesis
- castable with excellent clean ash free burn-out
- low thermal degradation temperature <360ºC
- ideal cobinder for Cold Metal Fusion CMF
- bio based from renewable source
- white thermoplastic SLS powder with superior biocompatibiliy
- printable by most plastic / polymer powder SLS printers
- similar properties and printing settings to Javil PLA 3110P Additive Powder
- excellent flow and levelling
- fine and narrow particle size distribution in microns:
- D100: 90 (100% of particles have less than 90 microns)
- D90: 80 (90% of particles have less than 80 microns)
- D50: 60 (50% of particles have less than 60 microns)
- D10: 20 (10% of particles have less than 20 microns)
- D1: 2 (1% of particles have less than 2 microns)
- high accuracy and resolution up to 50-100 microns of final products (depending on laser spot size and layer thickness)
