We recently released a brand new smooth finish for our Multi Jet Fusion Black PA12. This latest addition to our material portfolio is perfect for a variety of applications that require a surface that is smooth to the touch. In order to show you more of what this new finish is capable of, we’ve put together a handy FAQ to answer any lingering questions you might have about it.
Does this post-processing cause dimensional variation?
The smoothing process results in no more than a 0.4% dimensional change.
Is it skin safe?
Yes! Parts post processed using the PostPro3D® technology do not show a cytotoxic effect in accordance with ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-1 and ISO 10993-12.
Is it UV stable?
The smoothing process does not alter a product’s UV stability and since MJF PA12 is UV stable, so is Black Smooth PA12.
Is it heatproof?
The smoothing process does not alter a product’s thermal properties.
Heat deflection temperature:
XY: 95°C/203°F
Z: 95°C/203°F
(@ 1.82 MPa, 264 psi, ASTM D648 Test Method A)
