Product Description

The durable and strong Nylon 12 Tough Powder is one of the toughest powders for SLS 3D printing. This highly-durable material is about 50% more ductile than Nylon 12 Powder. It prints parts that are less brittle, have a reduced chance of warping, and with very low water absorption, making this material perfect for conditions with regular exposure to water or humidity.

Powder Color: Dark Gray

Refresh Rate: Print with up to 80% recycled powder to get the most out of your material.

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