Abstrakt: Currently, the majority of laser based powder bed fusion of polymers (PBF-LB/P) processes use polyamides, which prevent the components from exhibiting the mechanical characteristics of traditional manufacturing techniques; since there is a deficit of specific materials. Therefore, highly ductile materials are needed to cover further areas of application. The preferred material thereby is polypropylene with its various structures and settings. Available research demonstrates that while isotactic polypropylene can be processed, it has brittle properties that require the use of additional structures. To address this challenge and to exploit the full potential of PBF-LB/P, the first part of this work investigates the material properties in order to make a statement about the process performance, while the second step analyzes the processability and component properties of the heterophasic polypropylene grade.
