Product Description

Print biocompatible polyamide parts with high-strength, high-impact Nylon 11 Powder. This robust and ductile material is an excellent choice for a wide range of high-performance prototypes and end-use parts. Nylon 11 has a smooth surface finish, and is tough and incredibly flexible compared to other nylons – able to bend without breaking. This material is perfect for parts that need to endure mechanical stress and wear, from clips and snaps to medical orthotics and prosthetics.

Powder Color: Dark Gray

Refresh Rate: Print with up to 70% recycled powder to get the most out of your material.

For Best Results: Print with the Fuse 1+ using inert atmospheric control.

Please Note: Parts printed with Nylon 11 require some post-processing, including cleaning off excess powder. Heat treatment is necessary if further strengthening is desired.

Compatibility

Atmosphere: Inert Nitrogen or Air*

Biocompatibility: Certified Biocompatible

Compatible 3D Printers:

• Formlabs Fuse 1
• Formlabs Fuse 1+**

* Printing in air is possible but will compromise material properties, resulting in a faster rate of powder degradation.
** Formlabs strongly recommends printing Nylon 11 Powder on a Fuse 1+ printer with an inert atmosphere.
