We are convinced of the positive and progressive development of 3D printing for everyone.
Following the industrial implementation of 3D printing for both metals and plastics, more and more desktop or office SLS systems are now available for hobbyists, architects and engineers.

However, compared to industrial systems, these devices are equipped with less powerful lasers, which means that the required powder materials must have a corresponding absorption.
Frustrated by the limited choice of materials, the poor sustainability of materials such as PA12, which have to be refreshed to a high degree, resulting in high material waste, we; Martin and Christian Launhardt have developed new and innovative SLS powder materials for your 3D printers.
Our rubber-like TPU materials for 3D printing are completely hydrolysis-free and do not require any refresh rates.
The polypropylenes (PP) are completely chemically resistant and do not age even after repeated use in the SLS systems.
And finally, our PA12 is a recycled and absorption-optimized material with comparable properties to those used in industrial SLS processes.
In this way, all our innovative SLS powders are not only environmentally friendly, but also easy on your wallet.

In addition, we mainly use electricity from renewable energy sources, such as photovoltaic modules directly from the roof of the production facility, to produce the SLS powder for your 3D print.

We are convinced that only with new, sustainable and innovative materials will 3D printing be feasible for everyone.

2012 - Familiarization with and use of additive manufacturing processes, in particular SLS
2015 - Research into new TPU, PP and PA12 materials
2018 - First materials are successfully tested on small SLS systems (SinterIt)
2019 - Refinement of material production and preparation
2020 - Development of complex process parameters for all materials for different SLS destop systems
2021 - Product launch - The PowderMonkeys are on the move!

Customers & Reviews

Our customers love our powder!
– But we can tell you a lot, so read for yourself.

We are often looking for client gifts for our media agency.
PowderMonkeys has helped us a lot here - with the 'Print Now 3D' tool it has been uncomplicated and easy to print individual customer gifts, such as business card cases and business card holders.
Thank you for the competent advice and cooperation - always happy to work with you again!
