xPBT
Nexa3D xPBT is the first-ever PBT powder commercially available for Powder Bed Fusion technology. The material is ideal for series production on our industrial applications such as automotive electronics.
xPBT has the same dielectric properties and heat deflection as the material used in injection molding processes, making it the material engineers are familiar with and prepared to use.
Developed for a wide sinter window, the powder is extremely easy to print. Additionally, xPBT is environmentally friendly with a high reuse rate and is recyclable to the extent that the material can be brought back to the powder bed process.
Key Benefits
- A well-known material that can be adopted quickly
- Excellent dielectric properties
- Extremely easy to print
- Improved dimensional stability due to lower moisture uptake
- Less waste due to >60% reuse rate
- Recyclable: non-reusable material can be brought back to the powder bed process
Applications
- Connectors
- Automotive Electronics
- Electrical
- Lighting
