Technology & Products

Key Products

ROLASERIT powder portfolio for SLS/HSS including polypropylene (PP01, PP03O with 200% elongation at break), PA66-01, TPU (PB01), PBT01 (developed with Mitsubishi Chemical) and other engineering thermoplastics; custom material tailoring; AM application center and system engineering support.

Technological Advantage

Full in-house production chain with qualification on own machines; founder expertise in laser sintering materials since 2007; leadership roles in VDI and DIN AM plastics committees; certifications per VDI, DIN, ISO, REACH, RoHS and OEKO-TEX ECO PASSPORT.

Differentiation

Value Proposition

'Plug & Play' qualified polymer powders that run on existing laser sintering and high speed sintering machines with short running-in times and high batch-to-batch consistency.

How They Differentiate

Focus on transferring standard injection-molding thermoplastics (PP, PA66, PBT, TPU) to SLS/HSS with easy processability, versus OEM-locked or PA12-centric portfolios of larger suppliers.

Market & Competition

Target Customers

AM service bureaus, industrial part producers and research institutes operating SLS/HSS powder bed fusion systems.
