Great announcements for your SLA products!

Could we expect some updates during Formnext regarding the messy bags of Nylon powder that replaced the perfectly designed jugs and for which users have been complaining for months? :slight_smile:

Thanks for your question!
As one of our product managers shared in another thread, some spout solutions were tested, but the current bag material does not seem to be compatible with them. We’re still actively investing in this problem and are testing further options.

There is an error on the data representation. Some values have passed from GPA to MPA. So now they are 1000x higer, and graphical comparison becomes meaningless.
