SLS Nylon PA 2200

PA 2200 (Polyamide 12) is a high-performance thermoplastic powder designed for Selective Laser Sintering (SLS). It provides excellent mechanical properties, including high impact resistance and significant thermal stability. Because SLS requires no support structures, PA 2200 allows for total geometric freedom, making it perfect for complex internal channels or nested parts. Common use cases include biocompatible medical devices, high-stress functional housings, and durable consumer goods.

Available finishes

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

Standard

26 colors

Standard PA 2200 is a white, functional nylon 12 with a slightly grainy surface. It offers excellent durability, chemical resistance, and high strength for functional prototypes and mechanical parts.

Vapor Smoothed

25 colors

Vapor smoothed PA 2200 is a nylon 12 with a sealed, semi-glossy surface. This process eliminates the grainy SLS texture.

All materials

Warping riskModerate

Interlocking partsSupported

Sandblasted

25 colors

Sandblasted PA 2200 is a refined nylon 12 with a matte, uniform white finish. This process removes excess powder and slightly smooths the surface.

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.

Waterproof

1 color

SLS nylon PA 2200 made waterproof by applying a clear coating.

Shot Peened

26 colors

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

Polished

25 colors

Polished PA 2200 is a refined nylon 12 with a smooth, low-friction surface and a satin-like sheen. This process reduces the "stony" feel of SLS parts.

Dyed Velvet

9 colors

Dyed SLS nylon PA 2200 with a soft and furry finish.

Satin
