Nylon (polyamide PA) is a fantastic all-round material with high precision and a good value for money. Thanks to its strength and flexibility it is extremely versatile and suitable for functional parts, jewelry, and many more applications. When thin, it is flexible enough for springs – when thick, it is strong enough for functional parts. It comes in many colors, and its surface can be polished and dyed. This material is 3D printed on industrial grade 3D printers, offering the highest quality, using a process called Selective Laser Sintering. PA6 is stronger than PA12, but absorbs more water.
