I have never run tests on used Duraform, but the old Protoform Composite had
serious degradation of mechanical properties with high cycles thru the
machine..... worst case was 1/3 (one third) of ultimate, down to 2 ksi.

Subject: SLS question

Does anybody know of any study that was carried outon the degradation of PA
powder with regards to the number of times it was used on the machine. That
is the difference between virgin powder and lets say powder that has been
ran through the SLS proces 10-20 times. Does the mechanical proerties
change etc..
