PA12 Nylon (PA2200)
Even better than in our dreams.
The basic Nylon material (PA2200) has a white powder form and can be used for a wide range of applications. After sintering, the finish of the products is slightly granular, but without a layered distortion. Depending on the wall thickness this material is very flexible (wall ± 1 mm) up to very strong (± 6 mm). As a rule, we impregnate the white parts with an anthracite grey pigment. Your wish is our demand, so if you want another color. Even food-blue. We deliver.
Practical information
| Delivery time | Express: 3-4 working days or Standard: 7 workdays |
| Tolerances | Standard: ±0.4mm or 0.4% orTechnical: ±0.15mm or 0.2% |
| Minimum wall thickness | 1mm (design living hinges minimum 0.5mm) |
| Colors | Standard: dyed black |
| Pay attention to | Avoid thin, long walls. The temperature of the process can cause parts to warp. Due to the process, tolerances in building orientation (Z) are higher and holes are slightly elongated. Also check our guidelines. |

It may be true that 3D printing hasn’t been used as long for production as turning, milling or injection molding. As an engineer, maybe you don’t really have that ‘feel’ with printed parts yet. And you are not confident about how 3D printed products hold up in your machines. We fully understand that! And we will help ease your mind.
So: do you have a 3D printed application in mind? Use a 3D printed part and taste the pudding? See if it will hold up? Then contact Neil for a free sample. On the house!
