PA12PPSSpherical Powder

In February, Toray Industries, Inc. announced two major new material achievements, securing breakthroughs in both the 3D printing and high-temperature flexible material sectors with "world-first" technologies.

On February 24, Toray officially launched Toraypearl™ Polyamide (PA) 12, a truly spherical PA12 powder specifically engineered for powder bed fusion (PBF) type 3D printing. Leveraging Toray's proprietary polymer particle engineering technology, this material overcomes long-standing industry challenges associated with conventional PA12 powders, delivering a dual leap in both surface quality and mechanical performance.

Prior to the launch of spherical PA12, Toray had already unveiled another world-first innovation in early February: a high-performance flexible Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) resin that achieves a perfect balance of flexibility, flame retardancy, and heat resistance. The core advantages of this new material are concentrated in three key dimensions, precisely meeting the stringent demands of advanced manufacturing.
