Nylon(PA)
About Nylon
Industrial strength, durable, watertight, good chemical resistance with heat deflection temperature(0.45Mpa) at 150°C/302 °F. A cost-effective choice for functional applications such as drone parts, light fixtures, auto parts, etc. Can be printed with MJF, SLS and FDM technologies. MJF and SLS processes are recommended for models with complex structures. Parts printed with MJF technology have a smoother surface finish compared to the ones printed with SLS.
