Frequently Asked Questions About PA12 Nylon (SLS)

  • What is SLS Nylon PA12?

    SLS nylon PA12, also known as Polyamide 12, is a synthetic thermoplastic polymer commonly used in Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D printing. It's known for its exceptional strength, flexibility, and chemical resistance. Its low moisture absorption makes it ideal for functional parts and prototypes exposed to tough environments. SLS nylon PA12 is widely used in automotive, aerospace, and consumer goods industries due to its durability and fine-detail capabilities, making it a popular choice for complex geometries and moving parts in additive manufacturing.
