Benefits with Aurora material

Strong & flexible prints

SLS 3D prints that are both strong and flexible. Our process and our material create some unique 3D prints that can be bent, go back to their original shape, and do not break into thousands of small pieces.

  • Complex geometries
  • UV-resistant
  • Incredibly strong
  • Can be ordered in black or white

Unique container for a powder free office

The absolute biggest disadvantage of a powder bed 3D-printer (SLS) is the powder handling. We at Wematter have solved this with a very simple solution where you refill powder with our patented powder packaging. Pick up the package, place in the opening and turn it around. It couldn’t be easier.

3D-prints that last

In order to truly demonstrate the strength of our prints, we have let one of our employees hang freely in a 3D-printed chain made by us in Aurora material in the video below.

Our materials

Aurora PA11

Aurora PA11 is a Polyamide 11 based material made from 100 % bio-based substances which are used primarily in industrial applications. The material is a sustainable thermoplastic polymer that produces strong UV-stable prints, well suited for technical end-products.

Aurora PA11 has superior mechanical performance compared to polymers such as Polyamide 12 widely used in rapid prototyping. It also meets the USP Class VI requirements for medical applications.
