PA Nylon (FDM)
FDM nylon (PA) is a durable, wear-resistant thermoplastic. Suitable for functional parts, gears, bushings and brackets when you need larger parts or a lower price than powder technologies offer.

Choose something else when…
- you need precise fine detail – choose MJF PA12
Properties
Tensile strength per datasheet ~50 MPa, service temperature – up to ~95 °C. Nylon absorbs moisture, which changes its properties slightly.
