SAF Additive Technology

< Back to On-Demand 3D Printing

How does it work?

Selective Absorption Fusion uses power bed fusion technology. Layer-by-layer, infrared-sensitive High Absorption Fluid (HAF) melts and fuses particles of polymer powder together.

Benefits

Medium to high volume production

Great mechanical & thermal properties

Excellent geometric accuracy & precision

Repeatable & consistent

Smooth surface finish

Faster turnaround

Applications
