PA 12 White (PA650)
PA 12 White (PA 650) is a nylon material available for SLS 3D Printing.
What is PA 12 White?
PA 12 White is an economical material choice for functional prototypes and end-use parts. It offers high impact and temperature resistance, is very durable, and remains stable under a range of environmental conditions. The nylon material exhibits a white finish with a slightly rougher surface texture compared to other nylons.
Applications
The material's high strength is ideal for jigs and fixtures, and other functional parts. It also has a low coefficient of friction, making it suitable for many types of gears and bearings.
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
- Strength and stiffness
- Well-balanced material properties
