Datasheet
PA12-AF, a mixture of polyamide and aluminum powder, produced using fine powder sintering technology, is ideal for series production of both small and large parts with high strength and a metallic appearance. This material is characterized by easy machinability and resistance to temperatures up to 130°C. The technology allows the production of complex shapes while maintaining small details with high precision. Typical applications include parts for wind tunnel testing in the automotive industry, small production series, tooling, as well as educational and illustrative models. If, for example, the metallic appearance of aluminum is not suitable for you, an alternative could be PA12-GF.
