Comparison between the properties of polyamide 12 and glass bead filled polyamide 12 using the multi jet fusion printing process

This study investigates the material and mechanical properties of both polyamide 12 (PA12) and reinforced glass bead PA12 composites, fabricated using a production scale additive manufacturing (AM) process. The printing studies were carried out using the production scale, Multi Jet Fusion powder bed fusion process. The study demonstrated that the chemical functionality and the thermal properties of the printed PA 12 parts and the glass bead...
