SLS Nylon PA11

Nylons

BiomedicalDurableImpact resistantFunctional

PA11 is a bio-derived material with exceptionally high toughness. This material has the particularity of offering high ductility and impact strength across a range of applications. As this material is resistant and approved for skin contact, it is possible to create made-to-measure medical devices such as orthopedic parts.

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

Standard

26 colors

Raw SLS nylon featuring a coarse surface.

Polished

26 colors

Polished SLS nylon PA11 featuring a smooth texture.

Vapor Smoothed

26 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.
