Fluxo Launches Plexint™PBT Polymer Powder for Industrial 3D Printing

Designed to seamlessly bridge the gap between prototyping and mass production, this innovative material significantly accelerates time-to-market while reducing overall development costs across a wide range of industries.
 

Singapore – October 26, 2026 – Fluxo Technologies, a leading provider of advanced materials and manufacturing solutions, today announced the commercial availability of Plexint™PBT. This innovative polymer powder is specifically formulated for powder-bed fusion technologies, including selective laser sintering (SLS) 3D printers.

Bringing Injection-Molding Grade PBT to Standard SLS Systems

Key performance highlights and characteristics of Plexint™ PBT include:

  • High Ductility & Robust Mechanical Strength: Delivers mechanical behavior and tensile performance on par with traditional injection-molded PBT, with elongation at break up to 15% to support complex, fine-featured geometries.
  • Superior Electrical & Thermal Stability: Features high electrical resistivity and superior heat deflection temperatures (HDT up to 180°C, depending on grade), outperforming standard polyamides in harsh working conditions.
  • High Efficiency & Processability: Exhibits smooth surface quality straight out of the print bed, excellent post-processing behavior (including chemical vapor smoothing), and an economical powder refresh rate of around 5% for sustainable, cost-effective series production.
  • Broad Equipment Compatibility: Processes seamlessly on existing SLS equipment without requiring costly high-temperature hardware upgrades.
  • Versatile Portfolio: Available in unfilled grades as well as carbon fiber-reinforced (CF), glass fiber-reinforced (GF), and glass bead-reinforced (GB) variants to satisfy demanding engineering requirements.

Engineered for High-Performance Industrial Applications

Plexint™PBT serves as a premium engineering material for high-value applications across key manufacturing sectors:

  • Electronics & Electrical Systems: Housings, connectors, sensor enclosures, and insulating components requiring low moisture absorption and strong dielectric properties.
  • Automotive Engineering: Under-the-hood technical parts, fluid/water pump housings, and durable interior or exterior functional components.
  • Industrial Equipment: Precision mechanical parts, enclosures, and high-stiffness structural alternatives to traditional glass-bead filled polyamides.

Meeting at Formnext Frankfurt 2026

Fluxo invites global partners, engineers, and manufacturing leaders to experience its advanced material portfolio firsthand at Formnext Frankfurt 2026 this November. 

Fluxo will be exhibiting three of its flagship polymer powders, Plexint™ PBT, Plexint™ CPLA, and Rytexint™ PPS, at the booth of its key industrial partner, Farsoon Technologies, a global leader in industrial 3D printing systems.

Visitors to the booth will have the opportunity to inspect live powder samples and printed components, as well as discuss tailored material solutions directly with both Fluxo and Farsoon teams.
