AE12+ and AE21: Low-cost, sustainable, for large components

New: PMMA materials (acrylic glass) available from Binder Jetting

3D-Druck Plexiglas Bauteil Binder Jetting PMMA AE21

3D gedrucktes Bauteil PMMA Pro-Material Binder Jetting

From now on you can find in the Jellypipe Store the PMMA materials AE12+ and AE21, processed with the binder jetting technology.

The Plexiglas 3D printing materials are a good complement to comparable plastics from SLS, MJF or SAF and are particularly suitable for very large components: The maximum build space for additive manufacturing technology binder jetting for plastics is 850 x 450 x 480 mm. In addition, depending on the geometry and the number of pieces ordered, the components are less expensive than comparable plastics from the other technologies.

The sustainability of polymethyl methacrylates (acrylics) deserves special mention - 100% of the unused powder can be reused after printing.

The main properties of the materials:

PMMA AE21	PMMA AE12+
High level of detail Dense surface (porosity < 1%) No thermal distortion Good mechanical properties	High level of detail Excellent edge sharpness No thermal distortion Color: bright, consistent white

To the materials

PMMA+ 3D Printing Material (Polymethyl Methacrylate, Acrylic)

The material is suitable for large components because it is processed using binder jetting technology. It is also cheaper than comparable materials from other technologies.

Less expensive than comparable materials from SLS, SAF or MJF, especially for large components (price also depends on geometry / number of pieces)

No support structures are required for binder jetting
Sustainable: the powder that is not needed can be reused 100%.
