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

End-Use Products

Manufacture geometrically accurate parts with excellent surface finishing.

Functionally Enhanced Parts

Design & print parts with movement, such as joints, hinges, and clips.

Molds & Load Bearing Parts

Produce strong & impact-resistant parts for demanding applications.
