3D PRINTING IN NYLON

Nylon PA12 GF is an engineering material, well suited for functional parts requiring; chemical resistance, heat resistance and excellent strength properties

SLS NYLON PA12 GF

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is an industrial 3D printing process ideal for manufacturing end-use parts. Using powder-based material parts are self-supported and don’t require support structures, ideal for complex geometries.

MATERIAL PROPERTIES

LOW COST

Well-suited for large production runs, without effecting quality

FUNCTIONAL

Parts are isotropic and have similar mechanical properties to moulded parts

HEAT RESISTANT

Our materials perform at operating temperatures up to 171°C

CHEMICAL RESISTANT

Nylon PA12 has excellent chemical and weather resistance

biocompatible

Nylon PA12 is biocompatible certified and sterilisable.
