Alumide® - Polyamide aluminium-filled

Product information
Alumide is a metallic grey, aluminium-filled polyamide 12 powder, which is characterised by its high stiffness, metallic appearance and good postprocessing possibilities. The surfaces of Alumide parts can be refined very easily by grinding, polishing or coating. The machining of Alumide laser-sintered parts is simplified through the cut breaking effect of the aluminium filling.

 

Properties
• excellent dimensional accuracy
• well-balanced ratio of density and stiffness
• increased thermal conductivity
• good machinability


Application
• manufacture of stiff parts of metallic appearance for applications in automotive manufacture (e.g. wind tunnel tests or parts that are not safety-relevant)
• tool inserts for injecting and moulding small production runs
• illustrative models (metallic appearance)
• education and jig manufacture et al.
