StrongImpact resistantFunctionalVisual

HP’s Multi Jet Fusion technology is a new printing process that uses special fusing and detailing agents in combination with heat lamps to fuse particles in a bed of powder. Each new layer is fused to the last in order to produce parts with a tensile strength in the Z-axis that is comparable to that in the XY-plane. Resulting models have excellent mechanical properties, with a strength and density exceeding that of parts produced using other powder-based technologies. The strength and heat resistance makes it an excellent choice for functional parts, such as components for drones, mounts, and gears. Thin walls are flexible, which makes nylon great for living hinges and compliant mechanisms. The surface can be post-processed to be smooth and semi-glossy, which makes this material great for visual prototypes and home decor.

Each finish can be combined with the available colors at checkout.

Standard

22 colors

Raw MJF Nylon featuring a coarse texture.

Polished

22 colors

A smooth, glossy surface achieved through mechanical tumbling, enhancing aesthetics and reducing surface roughness on MJF PA12 parts.

Shot Peened

22 colors

Shot peening improves both the aesthetic and functional durability of the models, making them smoother and more resilient.

Vapor Smoothed

22 colors

Vapor smoothing uses a vaporized solvent to partially melt and blend the outer layer of a 3D print, significantly reducing visible layer lines to create a more uniform, sealed finish.

Electroplated

8 colors

Electroplating is a process where a thin layer of metal is applied to plastic surfaces to enhance durability, corrosion resistance, and electrical conductivity.

UV Powder Coating

4 colors

A durable UV-cured powder coating that enhances surface hardness, provides uniform color, and protects HP MJF Nylon PA12 parts from abrasion and UV degradation.
