Nylon (PA): common questions
What is Nylon (PA) good for?
Nylon (PA) is a common choice for gears, bearings, living hinges, structural parts. Strong, flexible, and wear-resistant engineering thermoplastic for demanding applications.
How strong and heat-resistant is Nylon (PA)?
Printed Nylon (PA) parts have a typical tensile strength of 70–85 MPa and heat resistance of ~120 °C. These are typical values for printed parts in the XY direction; strength between layers is lower, so orientation matters for loaded parts.
How big a part can you print in Nylon (PA), and how fast?
Up to 350 × 320 × 325 mm in one piece; larger parts are printed in sections and joined, after a review. Production takes 2-5 business days, and rush service is available.
