New materials in additive manufacturing: halogen-free flame retardant & X-ray or metal detectable
New powder materials are constantly being developed for selective laser sintering (SLS) or multi-jet fusion (MJF) technologies, e.g., materials with flame-retardant or X-ray detectable properties that are useful in drone construction and automation.
prodartis AG has recently introduced a new powder material for MJF technology that enables the production of complex components with flame-retardant properties without the use of halogens.
Existing powder materials with flame-retardant properties on the market either resulted in components with poor elongation at break or in components containing halogens. Halogens must be avoided because they are released as dangerous, corrosive, and toxic gases in the event of a fire. In this presentation, you will learn how the aircraft and drone industries in particular benefit from this new flame-retardant MJF material.
Another innovation is the X-ray and metal detectable SLS material, which is currently in the beta phase at prodartis AG. Markets such as the packaging industry benefit from detectability, where all goods packaged in automated systems must be 100% detectable for splinters that have accidentally entered the packaging.
Please note: This presentation will be given in German.
