86 Metapor©
Witte METAPOR©- material properties
METAPOR© is made mainly out of two components: Granulate ( e.g., Aluminium, Ceramic ) and a binder e.g., epoxy, polyester, polyurethane).
METAPOR© is available in the standard sizes 500x500mm,
thickness from 10 - 100mm ( ±0,3mm)
METAPOR©-Materials in comparision:
The machineability of METAPOR© is excellent and can be
compared to easily machineable aluminium. METAPOR© is
machined without coolant in order to keep the pores clean
Better surfaces are achieved with high cutting values. No noticeable
warmth developing in the workpiece can be felt during

These different components influence the qualities and behaviour of the material.
For example porosity, hardness, temperature consistency, and surface finish.
