A glass-filled PA12 nylon material for Formlabs Fuse Series, with enhanced stiffness and heat resistance to endure demanding manufacturing conditions. Ideal for applications where structural rigidity and thermal stability are critical.
Nylon 12 GF Powder’s tensile modulus is more than 50% higher than that of Nylon 12 Powder, and almost 75% higher than Nylon 11 Powder. Customers should choose Nylon 12 GF Powder when printing parts that need to bear heavy loads for a long time without any bending or elongation. Stiff, static jigs and fixtures, brackets, mounts, and casings are all product types that would benefit from the strong, rigid mechanical properties of this new powder.
Nylon 12 GF Powder also withstands elevated temperatures, with a heat deflection temperature (HDT @ 1.8 MPa) of 113 °C. Many materials can deform when exposed to high heat, and lose their dimensional accuracy, especially when the heat is combined with a load-bearing application. Nylon 12 GF Powder has the necessary thermal stability to withstand many applications where other SLS powders would show signs of elongation and deformation.
