High strength: Nylon filament has excellent strength and wear resistance, making it suitable for manufacturing industrial parts such as bearings, screws, and gears.
Low shrinkage: Nylon filament has low processing shrinkage, which means that printed parts remain almost the same size after cooling.
High chemical resistance: Nylon filament is resistant to many chemicals, such as lubricants and oils, making it suitable for producing parts that will be exposed to chemical environments.
Low hygroscopicity: Nylon filament has low hygroscopicity, which means it does not absorb moisture, which is important for some applications.
High electrical insulation: Nylon filament has high electrical insulation, which means it can be used as an insulating material in electrical and electronic devices.
Excellent thermal resistance: Nylon filament has high thermal resistance, meaning it can be used at high temperatures without damage.
High elasticity: Nylon filament has high elasticity, which means printed parts can be flexible in thin layers.
Poliamid PA12 in natural color (ivory), also known as NYLON, has high hardness, elasticity in thin layers, and is characterized by excellent layer bonding and low processing shrinkage for a material from the polyamide family.
Poliamid PA12, also known as NYLON, is a structural material ideal for applications in the automotive, electrical, and electronic industries and in sports. NYLON from Print-ME is primarily characterized by excellent layer adhesion and processing shrinkage below 1.5%. It is an ideal material for manufacturing industrial parts such as bearings, screws, and gears because it has high wear resistance and high impact strength. It has insulating properties and chemical resistance to lubricants and oils. Additionally, it has the lowest hygroscopicity of all available polyamides.
Recommended settings for Nylon printing:
Working temperature of finished elements can reach 130-150 °C. Printed thin layers have elastic properties. A necessary condition is the use of a heated bed, heated to approx. 120 °C, and an enclosed chamber with good room ventilation, as harmful caprolactam is released during extrusion. Poliamid is available in a natural ivory color. Recommended printing temperature is 230-280 °C.
