Airtight material (material recommendation)

Hi

Which plastic material would be best suited to create an airtight part?
The description of Polyamide states that it is slightly porous but has a lower porosity that parts produced with laser sintering. Does the same apply to Rubber-like (MJF)?

Thank you for the help in advance!

Best,
David

Hi David,

I would suggest MJF because it’s more likely to be airtight. Sealing as a finish could also help.

Rubber-like is built in the same process as Polyamide on MJF so it has the same effect.
Although it is hard to guarantee as it also depends on pressure, temperature, duration etc.
I hope the above is useful to you.
