THE ALL-ROUNDER FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
PA12 AS is particularly suitable when a versatile material with balanced properties is required.
From initial prototypes to recurring production parts, the material can be used for a wide range of applications without the need for conventional tooling.
PA12 AS OR PA12 CS?
The right material depends on the requirements of your component.
PA12 AS is our versatile standard material for a wide range of applications.
PA12 CS is ceramic-reinforced and is particularly suitable when increased stiffness and dimensional stability are required.
We will be happy to help you select the appropriate material for your application.
POST-PROCESSING & FINISHING
The production process does not have to end after printing. PA12 AS offers a wide range of options for further post-processing and surface finishing.
Depending on the application and required surface quality, different processes can be combined to improve the visual appearance and functional properties of the component.
Possible processes include, for example:
- Surface equalization
- Tumbling
- Dyeing
- Chemical smoothing
- Infiltration
- UV protection
- Optical brightening
- Painting
COLOR FOR PA12
One of the key advantages of PA12 is its suitability for professional dyeing.
CIPRES has extensive experience in coloring additively manufactured polymer parts. Depending on the application, components can be produced in different colors and combined with additional finishing processes.
