Windform® FX BLACK

Windform® FX BLACK is a new generation polyamide based material with a dark black color. Windform® FX Black’s mechanical characteristics make it particularly suited for Additive Manufacturing applications. It guarantees consistent performance on repeatable jobs. Windform® FX BLACK is characterized by exceptional resistance to repeated bending and torsion. The material shows excellent impact resistance even at low temperatures. Its consistency and behavior are similar to polypropylene and ABS injection molded parts. Windform® FX BLACK is perfect for creating accurate, reliable, and long lasting prototypes. No post-production treatments are needed, as the material has an excellent surface finish in its sintered state. Any additional manual finishing improves its polish. It can be considered a highly valuable material in various functional applications.
