11 such as selective laser sintering (SLS) and high-speed sintering (HSS). Fiber composite materials represent another growth field. SLS Materials current market situation Polyamide 12 powders are an ideal matrix for thermoplastic composites made of fiberglass, carbon fibers, and aramid or steel fibers. Applications can be found in the automotive and oil drilling industry, the sports sector and in orthopedics. VESTOSINT is a modified PA12 powder that is manufactured at the Marl site from a polyamide granulate, using a proprietary Evonik process. Capture: Air duct component for an engine compartment, manufactured with the use of a 3D printing process and VESTOSINT.
