Material Data Sheet
Alumide
Product Description
Alumide is a metallic gray, aluminium-filled polyamide 12 powder. Parts made from Alumide are characterized by high stiffness, metallic appearance and good post-processing possibilities. The surfaces of alumide components can be very easily refined by grinding, polishing or coating. Machining is simplified by the chip-breaking effect of the aluminium filling.
- Thermal conductivity (limited)
- High stiffness
- Easy postprocessing
- Design elements
- Production equipment like jigs and fixtures
- Injection mold for small batch production
