Description
BASF Forward AM Ultrafuse PA
Ultrafuse® PA is the translation of BASF ́s Ultramid® to the 3D printing space. It is based on a copolyamide 6/66 grade of intermediate viscosity. With Ultrafuse® PA, it is possible to print semi-flexible thin parts; however, it is very rigid at higher thicknesses. It has a lower melting temperature than PA6 and PA66, meaning it can be printed at a lower temperature and also has better impact resistance versus PA6 and PA66, opening up a whole new application field for end-users.
Benefits
- Good fatigue resistance
- High mechanical strength
- Low melting point makes it printable for many FFF printers
- Good wear resistance/ lubricity
- Good impact resistance at low temperatures
