Part made in laser sintering 3D printing with Polyamide powders 11
Thermoplastic powders for powder bed fusion
Orgasol Polyamide 12: With the unique particle shape and narrow particle size distribution, Orgasol Invent Smooth powders are the perfect material for the prototyping of small, complex parts, yielding an incomparably smooth surface. Meanwhile, the outstanding viscosity stability and excellent recyclability are otherimportant benefits of Orgasol Invent Smooth powders: thanks to the unique, patented polymerization process, the powders show very low refresh rate.
Rilsan Polyamide 11: As a high performance 100% biosourced polyamide, Rilsan Polyamide 11 has been specifically developed for 3D printing, and is available under two grades: Rilsan Invent Natural and Rilsan Invent Black. Rilsan Polyamide 11 is now the material of choice to design and manufacture final production parts by additive manufacturing with its unparalleled mechanical strength and durability, used in parts manufacturing process in the fields of cars, trucks, planes and medical devices.
Rilsan Polyamide 11 (Reinforced): Rilsan Polyamide 11 (Reinforced) has opened up the scope of possibility in terms of application and properties, these materials exhibit unique properties, such as increased stiffness for higher temperature applications and superior dimensional stability but also specific features like conductivity or electrostatic dissipative properties.
Pebax TPE: the partially biobased thermoplastic elastomer developed for selective laser sintering (SLS) provides the ideal combination of the usual strength of polyamides plus the flexibility and elasticity of polyethers/polyesters.

Thermoplastic pellets for filament extrusion
Kepstan PEKK: As high performance thermoplastic, Kepstan PEKK offers an outstanding combination of mechanical strength, chemical resistance, low flammability, and high use temperature. Filaments made from Kepstan PEKK resins can be used to produce functional parts in the most demanding applications, such as amorphous or semicrystalline parts in the FFF process.
Altuglas 3D PMMA Resin: Acrylic resin is highly desirable for its optical clarity, surface finish, and outdoor weatherability. The Altuglas 3D acrylic resin is specially formulated to make more intricate parts and prototypes that are both transparent and functional with the recommended printing parameters.
Kynar PVDF: Polyvinylidene fluoride resins are the most durable polymers in the world, they are extremely resistant to harsh chemicals and UV radiation. This tough semi-crystalline fluoropolymer, formulated for printability, benefits from outstanding Z direction strength and ductility. Kynar fluoropolymers are specified for printing chemical processing equipment, fluid transport parts, outdoor exposed elements, or jigs & fixtures.
Pebax TPE: This unique polymer offers toughness and elasticity, filaments made from Pebax resin are particularly well suited for functional prototypes or short run manufacturing. Pebax elastomers are world renowned in sports, industrial, and footwear applications.
Beyond offering an industry leading portfolio of materials,
Continuous Composites:
9TLabs: the company has developed a technology that automates the manufacture of composites using additive manufacturing (AM) and advanced software algorithms. This technology will enable the mass production of composite parts using our Kepstan Arkema and 9T Labs will jointly develop the market, focusing on high-volume mass-production applications and material certification in order to accelerate large-scale adoption of the technology.
Adaptive3D: Adaptive3D photo-resins are based on N3xDimension advanced UV-curable liquid resins and are printable for high-throughput manufacturing of functional complex 3-dimensional plastic and rubber parts in a wide range of applications. With this investment in Adaptive3D,
SDG 13 - Climate action
Additive manufacturing optimizes design, driving a reduction in the raw materials used and in the losses incurred during the prototyping and manufacturing phases. By developing solutions that can be used to reduce the weight of land and air vehicles and thereby lower fuel consumption,
