Nylon PA12 Filament - 1.75 mm - 2.5 kg
Nylon PA12 retains its properties across a wide temperature range – both above and below 0°C. The material is highly impact-resistant and flexible, elongating up to 50% before breaking. This ensures that printed parts are resistant to cracking and maintain long service life in demanding conditions.
The filament demonstrates excellent resistance to hydraulic fluids, oils, fuels, greases, salt water, and solvents, making it indispensable in the automotive, industrial, and technical sectors. It should be noted, however, that nylon is not resistant to concentrated acids and bases.
Fiberlogy Nylon PA12 is easy to post-process – it can be painted and machined with tools typically used for metal. This makes the prints not only functional but also aesthetically refined and tailored to specific user needs.
Thanks to its high mechanical strength, Nylon PA12 is ideal for producing functional prototypes, machine parts, components exposed to friction, or elements in contact with chemicals. It is a must-have material for every engineering workshop using 3D printing.
To avoid issues related to material shrinkage, it is recommended to use a 3D printer with a closed, heated chamber when printing with Nylon PA12. This ensures dimensional stability and high print quality.
For even more demanding projects, Fiberlogy offers reinforced versions: PA12+CF15 (with carbon fiber) and PA12+GF15 (with glass fiber), which further enhance mechanical strength and stiffness of the final models.
