Standard Technical Details for Accuracy versus Tolerance:
For parts up to 1 mm (0.039″), the standard tolerance is ± 0,070 mm (0.003″)
For parts up to 3 mm (0.118″), the standard tolerance is ± 0,125 mm (0.005″)
For parts up to 6 mm (0.236″), the standard tolerance is ± 0,150 mm (0.006″)
For parts over 6 mm (0.236″), refer to UNI EN ISO 286-2 JS14 class (linear tolerances).
Technical specifications
Windform® FX BLACK is a new generation polyamide based SLS material with a dark black color.
It guarantees consistent performance on repeatable jobs.
Windform® FX BLACK is characterized by high flexibility and exceptional resistance to repeated bending and torsion.
The material shows excellent impact resistance even at low temperatures.
Its consistency and behavior are similar to polypropylene and ABS injection moulded parts.
Applications
Windform® FX BLACK is perfect for creating accurate, reliable, and functional prototypes.
It can be considered a highly valuable material in various end use applications when flexibility and strength cannot be compromised, for example: parts with living hinges or clip fittings, ducting of complex shapes, thin walled connectors with snap-fit systems.
