Nylon PA12 3D Printing (SLS)
Nylon PA12 (SLS) properties for 3D printing
What is Nylon PA 12 (SLS)?
Nylon PA12 (Polyamide 12) is a high-performance 3D printing material that combines strength and flexibility, making it an ideal choice for parts subjected to mechanical stress. Its processing through SLS allows the production of complex parts without the need for supports, enabling the creation of functional designs with intricate geometries and thin walls.
This material is particularly suitable for industrial applications that require abrasion resistance, durability, and dimensional stability under extreme conditions. Its resistance to chemicals, oils, and greases makes it well-suited for demanding environments such as the automotive and aerospace industries. Additionally, PA12 is biocompatible, making it suitable for the development of medical devices and healthcare applications.
