SLS 3D printing with PA12 translucent (PA2201)

Laser-sintered components made from polyamide 12 translucent (PA2201) have balanced material properties and are ideally suited for functional components of all kinds. The material PA12 is characterized by its high strength and rigidity, as well as its chemical resistance and good post-processability. SLS 3D printed components made from this material are slightly translucent in the area of thin wall thicknesses and are therefore suitable for additively manufactured light shields, for example.
