# Farsoon and AM-Rauch qualify PPS for ST252P and Flight UT501P systems

[Farsoon](https://www.voxelmatters.directory/company/farsoon/) collaborated with [AM-Rauch](https://www.voxelmatters.directory/company/rauch-cnc-manufaktur/), to bring more high-temperature materials to its polymer laser PBF systems. The first materials qualified by Farsoon are polyphenylene sulfides TORAY PPS-GF25 and LUVOSINT PPS 9268 BK. Located in Baden-Baden, Germany, AM-Rauch is a specialized service provider renowned for its 12 years’ of expertise in [utilizing high-performance polymers (mainly PEEK and PEKK) with Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) technology](https://www.voxelmatters.com/everything-about-peek-3d-printing/). AM-Rauch focuses on process parameter development, delivering precision-engineered technical parts in batch series, matching to the stringent demands of medical and manufacturing sectors.

After the successful completion of a beta test at AM-Rauch, Farsoon's medium-frame Super-Temperature PBF ST252P system, as well as a customized large-frame Ultra-temperature PBF Flight UT501P system, are now qualified to support high-temperature engineering material for new applications, enhancing the capability of prototyping and medium-size series production.

After extensive testing aimed at qualifying high-performance polymers for new applications, numerous specialized high-temperature polymers are now successfully processed on Farsoon systems for volume production projects. This includes the development of process parameters for the two distinct polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) materials: TORAY PPS-GF25 and LUVOSINT PPS 9268 BK to be processed on Farsoon high temperature systems.

In recognition of this collaboration, AM-Rauch and Farsoon jointly worked on a customized large-format polymer PBF system Flight UT501P featuring robust fiber laser and ultra-temperature capability up to 340°C. Thanks to the expanded build volume of UT501P - for the first time, large-format parts with volumes up to 440 x 440 x 450 mm can now be produced targeting high quality at highly competitive cost per part. Further materials from the PAEK family are expected to be qualified in the near future, expanding the range of high-performance polymers available for additive manufacturing.

Bernd Rauch, owner of AM-Rauch, oversaw the pilot phase and expressed great satisfaction with the collaboration between AM-Rauch and FARSOON Europe. “Apart from a few suggestions for machine improvements, we are very pleased with the system’s performance, which made the decision to fully integrate the machine after the pilot phase an easy one. We are excited for the next generation of UT large-format machines, which will be developed in alignment with customers' requirements.”

Farsoon has been at the forefront of high-temperature laser powder bed fusion (PBF) technology since 2014, with several high-performance PBF systems successfully introduced to the market capable of reaching chamber temperatures up to 280°C including ST252P. In 2023, Farsoon introduced the powerful UT252P platform with advanced chamber capable of processing materials like PAEK family with melting points exceeding 340°C making it ideal for high-temperature applications in material engineering, medical devices, aerospace, and beyond.
