Advanced Laser Material’s FR-106 is a polyamide composite specifically engineered for producing parts with excellent fire retardancy while maintaining superior mechanical properties. Parts manufactured from the FR-106 material exhibit high toughness and impact resistance. FR-106 parts can be manufactured to very low thicknesses, as low as 0.030”, without compromising fire retardancy and toughness. This enables engineers and designers to decrease wall thicknesses, saving space and weight in their products. Even at these very low thicknesses, FR-106 parts easily pass challenging 60 second vertical burn testing as well as smoke and toxicity tests.

Like FR-106, PA 206-FR will easily pass a 60-second vertical burn test, and has been tested to FAR 25.853.  However, the primary difference between, PA 206-FR and FR-106 is the base material.  206 is created from a Nylon 12/PA-base while FR-106 is created from a Nylon 11 base.  Nylon 12/PA has a finer particle size and can build features much finer than Nylon 11-based materials.   206 also produces parts also have high impact resistance and strength.

The typical application for the material is the production of lost patterns for the plaster casting
process. Generally Prime Cast 101 is also suitable for ceramic shell casting, however special
measures against shell cracking are necessary. Another application for Prime Cast 101 is the production
of master patterns for vacuum casting.

EOS Stainless Steel 17-4 is a pre-alloyed stainless steel in fine powder form. Its composition corresponds to US classification 17-4 PH. This kind of steel is characterized by having very good corrosion resistance and mechanical properties, especially excellent ductility, and is widely used in a variety of engineering applications. This material is ideal for many part-building applications such as functional metal prototypes, small series products, individualized products or spare parts. Standard processing parameters use full melting of the entire geometry with 20 μm layer thickness, but it is also possible to use skin and core building style to increase the build speed. Using standard parameters the mechanical properties are fairly uniform in all directions. Laser-sintered parts made from EOS Stainless Steel 17-4 can be welded, machined, micro shot-peened, polished and coated if required. Unexposed powder can be reused without restriction or refreshing.
