SICAM Introduces PA12 GB to Multi-Jet Fusion Material Portfolio

...a polyamide-based material reinforced with 40% glass beads, offering a unique combination of rigidity, durability, and precision!

SICAM Corporation, a leader in additive manufacturing and rapid prototyping, is proud to announce the expansion of its Multi-Jet Fusion (MJF) material offerings with the addition of PA12GB (Glass Bead).

This innovative material is designed to meet the growing demand for high-performance components across industries that require superior strength, dimensional stability, and thermal resistance.

PA12GB is a polyamide-based material reinforced with 40% glass beads, offering a unique combination of rigidity, durability, and precision. This advanced composition makes it particularly well-suited for applications where mechanical strength and dimensional accuracy are critical.

The material’s high stiffness and resistance to warping ensure reliability even in the most complex geometries, while its enhanced thermal properties allow it to perform effectively in high-temperature environments. Additionally, PA12GB delivers a smooth, semi-matte surface finish, making it ideal for both functional prototypes and end-use parts.

This material is particularly useful for industries such as automotive and electric vehicles (EV), robotics, industrial equipment, and consumer products.

In automotive and EV applications, PA12GB is ideal for components like battery housings, brackets, and cooling system parts, where strength and lightweighting are essential.

Robotics and automation industries benefit from its use in end-of-arm tooling, structural supports, and assembly fixtures, while industrial manufacturers can leverage it for durable jigs, fixtures, and tooling. Consumer product designers can also take advantage of its stiffness and stability for creating robust housing components.

The integration of PA12GB into SICAM’s MJF portfolio aligns with the company’s mission to provide cutting-edge solutions that empower engineers to push the boundaries of design and manufacturing. This material not only offers exceptional mechanical properties but also supports cost-effective production.

By combining PA12GB with SICAM’s proprietary calibration methods, which achieve tolerances as tight as ±0.1mm, and advanced post-processing options such as SHOTSHEEN® and VAPORSMOOTH, SICAM ensures that customers receive parts with unmatched precision, durability, and surface quality.

PA12GB also stands out for its ability to reduce material waste and accelerate production cycles when used with Multi-Jet Fusion technology. This makes it an excellent choice for engineers seeking to optimize costs and streamline their workflows without compromising on performance.

“Our goal has always been to deliver materials and technologies that enable engineers to turn their visions into reality,” said Doug Campbell, VP at SICAM Corporation.

“The addition of PA12GB to our MJF material lineup is a testament to our commitment to innovation and precision. This material is a game-changer for industries that demand high-performance solutions, and we are excited to see how our customers will leverage its capabilities.”
