PA11 (SLS) — Properties & Data | MatWorld

PA11 (SLS)

PA11 printed by selective laser sintering is a semi-crystalline polyamide made from castor-oil-derived powder, fused layer by layer in a heated powder bed. The surrounding unsintered powder supports the part, so no support structures are needed and many parts can be nested in one build. As-printed parts have a matte, slightly grainy surface, some residual porosity and modest anisotropy between build directions. Parts are depowdered and usually bead blasted, tumbled, dyed or coated. It is used for functional prototypes, snap-fits, living hinges, housings, ducts and impact-loaded end-use parts.
