Advanced Laser Materials (ALM) PA 615 GS

Advanced Laser Materials (ALM) PA 615 GS is a 50% glass sphere filled material for improved dimensional stability, increased stiffness, and higher temperature applications when compared to unfilled PA. Drop-in replacement for other commercially available 50% glass sphere filled PA 12 laser sintering powders. PA 615 is more recyclable, produces a better part surface finish, and the dry powder flow has been optimized.
