Nylon 12 3D Printing
Nylon 12 3D Printing provided by JR is tough when thick, flexible when thin, has good biocompatibility, high heat resistance and chemical resistance, suitable for high-function prototypes or end-use applications. EOS 3D printers can provide you with parts with higher precision, more standard size, better mechanical properties, and smoother surfaces.
Nylon 12 properties
•The surface is relatively rough and smoothed by polishing (tumbling)
• The material is very light (density ~0.95 g/cm³)
•The color is white; it can be dyed black, blue, red, yellow, etc.
•Flexible when thin, strong when thick
•Very durable material, chemical resistant, high mechanical strength, heat resistant up to ~100°C
•One of the most durable 3D printing materials
Nylon 12 powder material is the most used for SLS printing and is perfect for functional prototypes or end-use parts due to its mechanical strength, flexibility, and heat resistance. SLS requires no support structures, so even the most complex designs can be printed.

Application of Nylon 12 3D Printing in End-Use Parts
Small batch production of end-use parts is one of the major advantages of the material and technology. Although the laser sintering print cycle is relatively long (up to 3 days), the throughput is the greatest of all additive manufacturing technologies. The reason is that parts can be stacked on top of each other, a feature not possible with other additive technologies. Therefore, in one print cycle, up to several hundred parts can be printed. In addition to the material's speed and economic advantages, PA12/PA 2200 also exhibits mechanical and thermal properties superior to most other 3D printing materials.
Nylon 12 3D printing enables the creation of precise and detailed intricate parts without the need for support materials. Generally speaking, parts produced by SLS are suitable for end users, and post-processing parts can improve their overall quality in many ways. SLS printed parts are available in a variety of post-processing techniques and surface treatments. Add coatings to SLS parts to enhance their performance.
