Optimize Your Production with 60% Reusability in PA12 FR
Productivity and Sustainability with 60% Powder Reuse
- Lower Cost per Part: Reduced reliance on virgin powder per build lowers variable production costs.
- Consistent Properties: The 60% reuse rate maintains strength, isotropy, and surface finish, ensuring batch-to-batch quality.
- Less Waste: Minimizes scrap in continuous production or medium series, aligned with industrial sustainability targets.
- Sustainable Manufacturing: The polymer is produced using biomethane and renewable sources, contributing to a lower carbon footprint from origin.
Developed by Evonik and HP, the new PA12 FR enables a 60/40 powder reuse ratio-setting a new benchmark for industrial-grade additive manufacturing.
Direct Impact of the New 60/40 Reuse Ratio
Perfect for cost-efficient and sustainable production in regulated sectors such as railway, electrical, and aerospace.
