Abstract
Powder bed fusion system (Selective leaser sintering system) is receiving high level of attention not only due to its ability to rapidly prepare prototypes but also as an efficient process for high-mix low-volume production. It is capable of custom produce highly complex shaped parts, which typically cannot be released from mold. The Parts produced by Polyamide (Nylon) 12 are indeed the most suitable material for “real usage”. Many Polyamide 12 grades have been developed for meeting real usage requirements of market. Although there are developments for higher temperature resistance materials, Polyamide 12 will still be the main material to be used for this process in the future.
