Nylon 12 printed with SLS

PA12 printed with SLS

PA12 is the most used material for the SLS process. It is not as ductile as PP but is harder and stiffer and can also be dyed in a range of different colours. The PA12 is perfect for small-scale manufacturing, functional and visual prototypes, architectural models and package studies.

  • Allows for high complexity
  • Many possibilities for finishing
  • Often cost-effective in small-scale production
  • Functional and visual prototypes
