PA 12 Black Nylon
PA 12 Black is a high tensile strength nylon.
What is PA 12 Black?
PA 12 Black is a high tensile strength nylon suitable for prototypes and end-use production parts. Final parts exhibit quality surface finishes, fine feature resolution, and more consistent mechanical properties when compared to processes like selective laser sintering.
Applications
Multi Jet Fusion’s PA 12 black is often used to build housings, enclosures, and fixtures, and can work well for snap fits and hinges.
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
- Near isotropic mechanical properties
- Water and air proof without additional treatment
