Modern plastics production - quantity plus quality Our production merges large capacities with extraordinarily high quality. We are currently working with 40 modern injection moulding machines which are mostly equipped with robots and removal grippers. This guarantees smooth and cost-effective production processes. Articles with injection weights from 1 g to 1,000 g as well as injection moulding machines with clamping forces of up to 5,000 KN emphasise our enormous production range which is further supplemented by multi-component and multi-colour injection moulding as well as by co-injection moulding processes. We are already manufacturing more than 8,000 plastic articles of all kinds, from small series to large quantities. Furthermore, we have a very comprehensive range of materials at our disposal. It covers everything from standard materials to high-tech requirements. A central material supply with material drying is the starting point for all subsequent, automated production processes. Continuous optimisations in all production processes, targeted material inspections, glow wire testing and documented measurements by our trained employees guarantee high-quality products. Thanks to our membership in the Kunststoff-Institut Lüdenscheid (Lüdenscheid Plastics Institute), we have active access to the latest plastics-related information and processing methods. This knowledge brings us up to date with the latest technologies.

We purchase, inspect, grind and extrude PMMA parts. We buy crystal clear, pure PMMA parts or regrind. The extrusion is carried out using special insert sieves to exclude contamination. The material is then ground in the fine mill, conveyed to the screening machine and screened out in the respective sizes. The following sizes are available: 0.1 – 0.2 to 2.0 – 3.0

PA11 is based 100% on renewable raw materials and is made from castor beans. In contrast to PA12 in laser-sintering, significantly higher elongation at break can be achieved with PA11. The elongation at break in the build plane is up to 45%. Even in the building direction, significantly higher elongation at break of 25%, in some cases even over 30%, is achieved compared to PA12. The material is therefore particularly suitable for applications in which component ductility plays a major role. In addition, the material has the best impact strength values in laser-sintering. Even the notched impact strength is 7.5 kJ/m². The material's processability is comparable to that of PA12. For the natural-colored variant PA11-01 food contact according to EC No. 1935/2004 and FDA approval is possible. The material is also available as a black variant PA11-01-BK, with a true black color well suited also for fiber laser. Carbon fiber-filled variant AM Polymers also offers the carbon fiber-reinforced PA11-01-CF. This has a very high strength of 74 MPa and a high stiffness of 5,800 MPa. However, with 8.5% elongation at break, the material remains sufficiently ductile to enable flexible features to be realized in the part. Even in the z-direction, with 46 MPa strength and 2,500 MPa Young's modulus, there is no weakening of the material. An HDT B of 190 °C also allows parts to be used at very high temperatures. In contrast to other carbon fiber-filled materials, the material can be refreshed using standard processes and mesh sizes during sieving as a result of a filler size tailored to the grain size. This ensures a constant fiber content and high compound quality.

Polyamides are one of the most important groups in the field of engineering plastics. In powder bed fusion, polyamides dominate the market in the form of PA12 and PA11. PA12 is the most widely used and is still the standard material today, despite the wide range of alternatives. Due to its very large process window, polyamide 12 has very good processability and is compatible with all machines. The PA12-03 offered by AM Polymers is absolutely equivalent to the most widely used PA12 materials (e.g. EOS PA2200) in terms of characteristic values, processing and processing parameters. This allows to achieve high elongation at break of over 20 % in the building plane and more than 10 % in the building direction. The material offers itself here as a useful third-party alternative. Refresh optimized versions: Furthermore, two PA12 types with improved reusability are offered: PA12-05 (white) and PA12-05-BK (dark grey). This means that only a 30% refresh rate is required for processing instead of the usual 50%, which has no impact on processing or performance characteristics. Black version for fiber laser: With the PA12-05-BK, AM Polymers offers a dark grey PA12 material especially dedicated for fiber laser machines. It has the typical good processability of PA12 while still showing high ductility. Glass-filled variant; In addition to the base material, AM Polymers also offers a glass bead-filled variant. The PA12-03-GB has a significantly increased stiffness of 3,300 MPa compared to unfilled PA12. At the same time, the material is still sufficiently ductile with 6% elongation at break.

Typical applications of PA6 are in mechanical engineering, in the production of bearings, gears, parts for household appliances and consumer goods, cladding, fittings or pump elements. Applications in the engine area such as carburetor parts or intake manifolds are also possible. In classical plastics processing, polyamide 6, with a market share of over 50 %, is of much greater importance than PA12 and PA11, which are used for special applications. PA 6 is characterized in particular by better mechanical properties and higher temperature resistance. ROLASERIT® PA6-01-BK offers very good processing with high strength and stiffness. Compared to other PA6 powders on the market, the material has a high elongation at break of 15 % in the build plane and 4 % in the building direction, even when dry. This means that the material does not become brittle even at high operating temperatures, so that even small features and details can be realized in functional components. Carbon fiber reinforced variant The performance of the material can further be increased with the carbon fiber-filled variant PA6-01-CF. The material has a strength of 85 MPa and a Young's modulus of 7,300 MPa, a level that can hardly be achieved by any other material in laser-sintering. At the same time, material does not exhibit significant weakening in the building direction. The application temperature HDT A rises to over 196 °C, making many high-temperature applications possible.
