    Alumide is a metallic grey, aluminium-filled polyamide 12 powder that is characterized by its high stiffness, metallic appearance, and good post-processing possibilities. Parts made from Alumide using laser sintering possess excellent dimensional accuracy, a well-balanced ratio of density and stiffness, increased thermal conductivity, and good machinability. Alumide can be easily refined through grinding, polishing or coating, and its aluminium filling simplifies machining of laser sintered parts through cut breaking.

    Alumide is a metallic grey, aluminium-filled polyamide 12 powder, which is characterised by its high stiffness, metallic
    appearance and good postprocessing possibilities.
    Laser-sintered parts made from Alumide possess excellent material properties:

    excellent dimensional accuracy


    well-balanced ratio of density and stiffness
    increased thermal conductivity
    good machinability

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

    The properties of parts manufactured using additive manufacturing technology (e.g. laser sintering, stereolithography, Fused Deposition Modelling, 3D printing) are,
    due to their layer-by-layer production, to some extent direction dependent. This has to be considered when designing the part and defining the build orientation.
