3D Printing Nylon

Nylon 3D Prints

Nylon 3D Printing

Nylon, also known as polyamide (PA), is a versatile and durable synthetic polymer. Nylon 3D printing creates strong and functional parts using Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) and Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) at 3DSPRO. Nylon 3D prints are used in producing functional prototypes, end-use parts, gears, hinges, machine parts, and snap-fit components.

Advantages of Nylon 3D Printing

  • High Strength and Toughness
  • Great Flexibility and Elasticity
  • Excellent Abrasion Resistance
  • Good Chemical Resistance
  • Low Coefficient of Friction
  • Good Thermal Stability
