PDX

PDX is a carbon-fiber reinforced material based on polyamide-12.

PDX is processed on highly advanced laser-sintering systems from 3D Systems.

The typical application for PDX is the production of highly rigid components for motorsports and automotive applications (e.g. wind tunnel tests), for functional models and Illustrative models as well as for fixtures and gauges.

PDX can be machined (drilling, sawing, milling ...) The surfaces of components made of PDX can be refined by grinding, polishing or coating.

Features of PDX at a glance:

Carbon-filled polyamide material
High Young`s modulus
Conductive material
Very good long-term stability
Low moisture absorption
Surfaces can be refined by grinding, polishing or coating
Mechanical post-processing possible (drilling, sawing, milling, lathing)
