Mechanical properties of selected Formlabs SLS powders
Mechanical properties of selected Formlabs SLS powders
Below is data about the mechanical properties of selected Formlabs SLS powders. Use this data along with the information in Choosing the right powder and the technical data sheet (TDS) for your selected material to pick a powder and evaluate your printed parts. If data for your material is not available, choose the closest comparable material and interpolate or extrapolate as necessary. For other requests, reach out to Formlabs Support or your sales representative.
Representative stress-strain curves
The graphs below show representative curves based on single samples of ASTM D638 Type 1 bars conditioned at 23 ℃ and 50% relative humidity. Actual results may vary depending on printed part conditioning, age of the powder, etc.
