FABULOUS and AMT Certify a Complete SLS Workflow for Food-Contact 3D Printed Parts

• French materials developer FABULOUS and UK-based post-processing specialist Additive Manufacturing Technologies (AMT) have jointly validated a complete workflow for producing food-contact-compliant parts using SLS 3D printing.  The process pairs FABULOUS’s DETECT PA11 bio-based polyamide material with AMT’s PostPro Pure vapor smoothing consumable, and has been confirmed by an accredited independent laboratory against both U.S. FDA…

French materials developer FABULOUS and UK-based post-processing specialist Additive Manufacturing Technologies (AMT) have jointly validated a complete workflow for producing food-contact-compliant parts using SLS 3D printing. The process pairs FABULOUS’s DETECT PA11 bio-based polyamide material with AMT’s PostPro Pure vapor smoothing consumable, and has been confirmed by an accredited independent laboratory against both U.S. FDA 21 CFR §177.1500 and EU Regulation No 10/2011, the primary regulatory frameworks governing materials that come into contact with food. All extractable substance levels across multiple food simulants tested well within the required thresholds. The significance isn’t just that the materials passed, it’s that the entire production chain was validated as a unit. Fro
