Nylon 11 / PA11 for 3D Printing

Nylon 11 Powder

Description

Nylon 11 powder for 3D printing, also known as polyamide 11 (PA 11), It's characterized by high impact resistance, impressive strength, and elasticity, which makes it ideal for components that need to exhibit a degree of flexibility while maintaining their structural integrity. This material has a comparatively lower moisture absorption rate, which ensures that the part's dimensions remain consistent even with prolonged exposure to wet or humid conditions. Moreover, Nylon 11's significant resistance to chemical, thermal, and UV degradation further enhances its usefulness in various outdoor and industrial applications.

Available 3D Printing Technologies for Prototypes and End-Use Parts

Selective Laser Melting

SLM

Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is a leading metal 3D printing technology, similar to DMLS. Base on powder bed fusion (PBF) principles, SLM is commonly used for building functional end-use metal parts with tight tollerence for high-level industry.

Selective Laser Sintering

SLS

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) employs polymers or resins for 3D modeling, akin to SLM. It's increasingly favored in industrial manufacturing, particularly for end-use parts or rapid prototyping due to its superior mechanical properties, sometimes surpassing injection molding.

Stereolithography

SLA

SLA (Stereolithography) 3D printing utilizes a UV laser to cure liquid resin layer by layer, creating precise, high-resolution models. Commonly used for intricate prototypes, dental models, jewelry, and detailed architectural models.

Multi Jet Fusion

HP MJF

MJF (Multi Jet Fusion) 3D printing fuses nylon powder using fast inkjet arrays, enabling the highly precise creation of complex structures. Low cost and excellent part quality are the advantages of MJF, making it appropriate for low volume manufacturing.

Fused Deposition Modeling

FDM

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printing service offers cost-effective prototyping and low-volume production solutions. Ideal for industries such as automotive, medical, and consumer goods, FDM produces durable, functional parts with quick turnaround times.

Digital Light Processing

DLP

DLP 3D printing technology has excellent precision and fast printing speed, making it widely used in parts manufacturing, especially in industries including dental, medical and jewelry industries, DLP has become an ideal choice.
