The material system AE12 was developed by Additive Elements as an experienced 3D printing service provider especially for the Binder Jetting process. It is based on PMMA and gives the finished part properties that were not possible before with alternative manufacturing processes. Compared to manufacturing with SLS, significant cost savings and higher productivity can be reached.

Further details on the mechanical properties and design recommendations can be found in our technical data sheet.

The profiles of requirements of a plastic are very different. Characteristics such as hardness, elasticity, temperature behaviour and chemical compatibility are typical application requirements. Through the combination of powder and pressure fluid as well as the design of the process, far-reaching changes of the resulting part properties can be achieved in order to realize special applications.
