Nylon (PA) in SLS 3D Printing
Selective laser sintering (SLS) produces nylon parts without support structures, enabling complex geometries, internal cavities, lattice structures, and functional prototypes. RapidDirect offers PA12, PA12-GF, and PA11 for prototypes and low-to-medium volume production.
- Support-free geometry: SLS builds complex cavities, lattices, and internal features without support structures.
- Functional performance: Nylon parts combine toughness, chemical resistance, and durability.
- Three material choices: Select PA12, PA12-GF, or PA11 for the performance your design needs.
Selection note: Choose PA12 for stable, general-purpose parts; PA12-GF for increased stiffness and wear resistance; or PA11 for toughness and fatigue resistance in flexible components.
