3D printed white plastic housings, manufactured with SLS

PA12 Nylon

Nylon 12, PA2200 or PA12, is one of our most versatile materials that works for most purposes and is suitable for both functional mass-produced end products and for design and architectural models. PA12 can be dyed to basically any color but is not as impact-resistant as PP and is harder and stiffer but not quite as durable as PA11. PA12 is available as glass or aluminum reinforced.

3D printing with PA12 Nylon

Nylon PA12 (PA2200) is not without reason the most common material for the process SLS and one of the most common materials in 3D printing. This material is perfect for series production, the production of functional and visual prototypes and architectural models. It is not as elastic as PP but is cheaper, can be dyed in a variety of colors and sealed for full waterproofness. If higher resistance to wear, increased stiffness and higher temperature resistance are desired, PA12 is also available as aluminum-reinforced PA12-AF and glass-reinforced PA12-GF. PA12 is offered in both the SLS and MJF and these options should usually be compared side by side for the best price and results. Read more about What is the difference between SLS and MJF?.

  • Fine grainy surface finish
  • Dimensionally stable
  • PA12 is white if it is not dyed or varnished in the desired colour
  • Works well for most purposes and also mass production
