Royal Plastic Unveils A New High Temperature Laser Sintering Capacity
Royal Plastic Mfg. announced the purchase of one of EOSINT P 800 systems from EOS, a manufacturer of laser-sintering equipment. Royal will use the P 800 to manufacture high-performance thermoplastic products out of EOS' unique PEEK HP3 material. "Laser-sintered EOS PEEK HP3 components have outstanding heat- and corrosion-resistant properties that make them ideal for aerospace," said Bob Evans, Area Sales Manager - Central Region at EOS of North America. "The P 800 purchase is just one more example of how Royal explores and advances new technologies with, and on behalf of, their customers." EOS PEEK HP3 is a high-performance polymer, belonging to the group of polyaryletherketones - with a melt point of 372°C/702°F. It is widely known for its outstanding material properties, including flame and temperature resistance, chemical resistance, high tensile strength, light weight, biocompatibility and sterilizability - properties that make it attractive for aerospace,
