We provide the best choices in terms of blends of materials based on specific customer applications.
SLS Materials
SLS – Selective Laser Sintering
Prosilas is one of the leading companies in the use of SLS technology. Prosilas’ strong experience in these technologies allows it to constantly research and test new materials to enable new applications.
PA 2200
It is the most used polymer in laser sintering process and it is also the base of almost all the other materials.
It has an excellent mechanic and thermic performance, for this reason it is suitable to produce functional parts.
ALUMIDE
Alumide is a polyamide PA2200 with aluminium charge. It adds to the polyamide more stiffness.
Thanks to aluminium, heat can dissipate easily and it guarantees a better result for the following CNC mechanic productions.
PA 603 CF
It is a polyamide charged with carbon fibers. It is a high-mechanic performance material, it is very demanded for its high resistance that allows it to be used for stressed components in the aerospace,
motorsport and automotive.
PA 12 GF
It is a polyamide PA12 charged with micro spheres of glass. Thanks to the glass charge in the polyamide, it is more rigid and keeps the same properties of PA12.
Parts produced with this material have a better result for the following CNC machining and an excellent.
PA 2210 FR
It is a polyamide with self-extinguish capacity (halogen free). V-0 for thickness bigger than 2 mm.
It is JAR25 certified for aviation and UL94 certified for the realisation of components applied in electric and electronic systems where self-extinguish characteristics are required.
POLYPROPYLENE
It is a polymer specifically developed for 3D SLS printing as alternative to polyamide.
Polypropylene, differently from polyamides, offers an excellent plasticity, elongation and great capacity of shock absorption, low moisture absorption and durability.
PA6 MF
PA6 MF is a polyamide mineral reinforced that offers mechanic performances and high-temperature resistance. A stronger material than other polyamides for SLS technology.
This material is recommended for the automotive, mechanics and for every application that requires high-performances.
TPU
TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) is a material with an excellent elasticity and elongation properties, this guarantees flexibility, durability and resistance to lacerations and abrasions.
Its use is recommended for tubes, gaskets, technical clothing and footwear, and for all those applications that need a material able to be flexible.
SLA Materials
SLA – STEREOLITOGRAPHY
Prosilas has SLA systems that allow you to produce prototypes with extreme precision and high detail resolution.
Thanks to these stereolithography systems it is possible to create complex geometries, to evaluate design strategies and accelerate R&D processes.
TRANSPARENT RESIN
Used in stereolithography, it allows to create detailed prototypes with high surface quality.
Ideal applications: automotive lights, cover led, guiding lights, displays.
Through the surface finishes it is possible a total transparency or a transparent opaque finish or even an opal effect.
RUBBER - LIKE RESIN
It is a black, flexible material that replicates the characteristics of common rubbers for injection moulding.
ABS-LIKE RESIN
Simil-ABS resin is a multipurpose resin with a good cost-quality ratio.
It is the right material when you need a prototype as close as possible to the final object.
HIGH TEMPERATURE RESISTANT RESIN
It is the right material to produce parts with high stiffness, high surface quality and that must withstand high temperatures.
With this resin it is possible to produce prototype moulds for injection moulding (ex. through a babyplast press)

FDM Materials
FDM – Fused deposition Modeling
Prosilas has the best FDM on the market for the creation of aesthetic prototypes and functional parts. Thanks to FDM systems , 3D parts can be printed in technical polymers for engineering use.
ULTEM 1010
This resin is the most resistant FDM thermoplastic.
Thanks to its high resistance and thermal stability characteristics, it is able to support autoclave operations associated both to sterilization and to the creation of composite artifacts.
ULTEM 9085
This resin is a light material, high resistant and completely auto-extinguishing.
It is FST (Flame, Smoke,Toxicity) certified. Applications: aeronautic, motorsport, aerospace (FAR 25.853).
ABS M30
This material is ideal for conceptual models and parts with a moderate level of requirements, for example
functional prototypes, masks, brackets, production instruments and production parts.
ABS-POLYCARBONATE
The PC-ABS is a high-impact, technic thermoplastic ideal for functional prototyping, instruments construction and low-volume production. It has the best features of two FDM materials, the strength and thermic resistance of polycarbonate and the flexibility of ABS.
POLYCARBONATE
Fast making for high resistance parts. This material offers precision, durability and stability and it allows to produce resistant parts able to support functional tests and templates.
It also allows engineers and designers to combine the speed and agility of 3D printing with the reliability of the most popular industrial thermoplastic.
ASA
Outdoors manufacturing parts take advantage of the strength, colour choice and UV resistance of the ASA
material.
ASA eases of use makes it an exceptional choice for iterative projects, from housings and supports for electrical equipment to sporting goods and automotive prototypes.
DMLS Materials
dmls – Direct metal laser sinteting
Prosilas uses the best metal powder beds systems, this allows the production of functional parts and prototypes. DMLS and SLM technologies and materials guarantee the best 3D printing performance for metals.
ALSi10Mg
AlSi10Mg it is an aluminium alloy that combines good mechanical strength, thermal properties, low weight. Applications include frames, ducts, engine components, tools and production moulds.
Stainless Steel AISI316L
A steel alloy rich in chromium, nickel and molybdenum, it is a sturdy material that also has excellent corrosion resistance and can be easily worked with a machine tool and finished.
MARAGING STEEL
Maraging steel, thanks to the presence of cobalt and nickel, is a special steel with excellent characteristics of hardness but at the same time of good toughness with an elastic behaviour almost to the breaking load.
