Overview of Glass Filled Nylon 12

Nylon 12 is already highly versatile and suitable for a host of applications in many sectors. Glass filled nylon 12, though, steps up the strength of printed parts, so it’s ideal for applications where robustness is cruical. It’s much tougher than the base material (PA 12) so it lends itself to harsher environments and tougher applications. 

This high-performance, robust thermoplastic is suitable for production parts and components in the automotive, motorsport, energy and aerospace industries. Boasting impact and water resistance, chemical stability, improved stiffness and durability, it’s an impressive material suitable for parts that need to be consistent, durable and precise. 

Our state-of-the-art SLS 3D printers enable us to produce components from glass filled Nylon 12 as large as 680 x 370 x 530 mm.
