Product Description

The stiff and strong Nylon 12 is one of the most popular and versatile powders for SLS 3D printing. This highly-durable, thermoplastic material produces a smooth surface that doesn't require much additional finishing and delivers precise, detailed, and complex parts. It creates biocompatible, environmentally-stable prints with very low water absorption, making it perfect for conditions with regular exposure to water or humidity. Nylon 12 is also resistant to many chemicals, oils, greases, solvents, and more.

Powder Color: Dark Gray

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

Please Note: Parts printed with Nylon 12 require some post-processing, including cleaning off excess powder.
