PA12
PA12 is a nylon-based thermoplastic powder designed for high-performance parts. It offers strong mechanical properties, high dimensional accuracy, and excellent powder recyclability, making it suitable for both prototyping and low-volume production. The material excels in creating dense, watertight, and durable parts that resist wear and mechanical stress.
Benefits
High strength and stiffness
Excellent dimensional accuracy
Low moisture absorption
Compatible with post-processing
Good surface finish
Limitations
Requires post-processing for aesthetics
Limited flexibility
Higher refresh rate than on MJF
Industries
PA12 is a go-to material in industrial manufacturing, product design, automotive, consumer electronics, and healthcare for its reliability, strength, and clean finish. It’s commonly used for tooling, jigs, housings, mechanical fixtures, and short-run end-use parts where strength and precision are required.
