Fabulous is Presenting New Industrial Materials at Formnext 2021

In 2020, Fabulous launched into the development of powders for additive manufacturing, more specifically thermoplastics for powder bed fusion processes. One of its first developments, BLUECARE, is a powder that has been certified for food contact in the European Union and which is in the process of being validated with the FDA in the United States. Blue in color, it allows for the quick identification of the presence or absence of plastics in food. In recent months, the company has continued to expand its range of materials and is currently presenting two new industrial 3D printing powders named DETECT and RED STOP at Formnext 2021.

Innovative, industrial, thermoplastic powders from Fabulous

Fabulous offers a relatively unique approach to the additive manufacturing powder market by proposing materials that integrate new functionalities to meet real industry needs. At booth 12.1 F38 at Formnext, Fabulous will be exhibiting its range of polymer powders with two new products: DETECT and RED STOP.

DETECT powder is made from PA11 which is derived from castor oil. It offers magnetic and X-ray detectability properties. Additionally, the material is magnetizable, making it ideal for sectors that need to identify metal parts, such as the nuclear industry, the food industry and the medical sector, especially for instrumentation. It is also compatible with food contact and holds to EU n° 10/2011 certifications. DETECT powder has excellent chemical resistance, a long life cycle and a 50% refresh rate.
