[email protected] Abstract: The polyamide (PA)-12 material used for additive manufacturing was studied in aspects of morphology and their structural properties for basic stages received during 3D laser printing. Citation: Simha Martynková, G.; Samples were real, big-scale production powders. The structure of polymer was evaluated from Slíva, A.; Kratošová, G.; Cechˇ the crystallinity point of view using XRD, FTIR, and DSC methods and from the surface properties Barabaszová, K.; Študentová, S.; using specific surface evaluation and porosity.
