Alumide is a metallic grey, aluminium-filled polyamide 12 powder, which is characterised by its high stiffness, metallic appearance and good postprocessing possibilities.

Laser-sintered parts made from Alumide possess excellent material properties:
  • excellent dimensional accuracy
  • well-balanced ratio of density and stiffness
  • increased thermal conductivity
  • good machinability

The surfaces of Alumide parts can be refined very easily by grinding, polishing or coating. The machining of Alumide laser-sintered parts is simplified through the cut breaking effect of the aluminium filling. A typical application for Alumide is the manufacture of stiff parts of metallic appearance for applications in automotive manufacture (e.g. wind tunnel tests or parts that are not safety-relevant), for tool inserts for injecting and moulding small production runs, for illustrative models (metallic appearance), for education and jig manufacture et al.
