PA12 40% Glass-Filled (PA614-GS)
PA12 40% Glass-Filled (PA614-GS) is a nylon material available for Selective Laser Sintering 3D Printing.
What is PA12 Glass-Filled?
PA12 40% Glass-Filled is a polyamide powder loaded with glass spheres that add stiffness and dimensional stability. The material possesses higher thermal resistance than unfilled polyamides and exhibits excellent long-term wear resistance. Due to the glass additive, it has decreased impact and tensile strengths compared to other nylons.
Applications
The material’s stiffness and temperature resistance makes it suited for components like armatures and mounting plates.
Tolerances
For well-designed parts, tolerances of ±0.012 in. plus ±0.002 in./in. for each additional inch can typically be achieved.
Note that tolerances may change depending on part geometry.
Key Product Benefits
- Stiffness and dimensional stability
- Long-term wear resistance
- High temperature resistance
