Evonik and Farsoon, a China's leading SLS 3D printer manufacturer, are strengthening their collaboration in powder-based 3D printing. Both companies aim to open up market access to new large-scale industrial applications in the higher temperature range.

Evonik is contributing its expertise in polymer-based 3D printing materials and Farsoon is bringing its expertise in powder-based 3D printers to the joint effort.

As a part of this, Evonik has already successfully tested the ready-to-use polymer powder INFINAM PA 6005 P (polyamide 613) with higher temperature resistance on Farsoon's ST252P and HT403P series machines. The development of new formulations is underway.

Evonik has successfully tested its high-temperature resistance ready-to-use powder material on Farsoon’s ST252P series machines.

"Close collaboration between material and machine manufacturers is essential to open up new 3D applications. The results of our test series are clear: INFINAM PA 6005 P with its higher melting point of 215°C can not only be excellently processed on Farsoon's ST252P and HT403P machines, but also recycled," said Wolfgang Diekmann, Director Research, Development & Innovation Additive Manufacturing at Evonik. 

INFINAM PA 6005 P is a high-performance powder from Evonik's polyamide 6 series. The material has high mechanical strength, high chemical and temperature resistance, and low water absorption - below 3%.

The latter has a positive effect on processability in the 3D printing process and the dimensional stability of the printed component. The objects printed from the PA 613 powder material impress with high stiffness and mechanical stability, even in thin-walled constructions.

Farsoon has manufactured many parts of functional testing at its headquarters in Changsha, China.

Farsoon's machines offer configuration options that can reach process chamber temperatures of up to 220°C (HT) or up to 280°C (ST). Improved thermal controls, temperature-protected components and open parameters provide customers with the ability to process high-performance polymers such as Evonik's PA 613 with good results.

The machines are equipped with high-speed scanners and powerful lasers. The high productivity of component production increasingly enables series applications.

The new polymer powder in Evonik's polyamide 6 series with its nearly round grain shape enables good flowability and application properties, making it suitable for all powder-based 3D printing technologies. A proprietary procedure is employed to produce the high-temperature material at the company’s Marl site.
