Formlabs Nylon 12 SLS Powder
€ 999,00 excl. BTW
Formlabs Nylon 12 powder is a universal, versatile and biocompatible material with a high level of detail and high dimensional accuracy.
It is the ideal material for SLS 3D printing and is ideal for both functional prototypes and the production of complex assemblies and durable components with high resistance to UV, temperatures > 100°C and chemicals.
Beschrijving
This Nylon 12 SLS Powder formulation is specially developed for optimal use in the Formlabs Fuse 1+. It is strong, offers a high level of detail and is multifunctionally usable for various applications. Grey Nylon 12 is excellent in industrial applications and due to its dark colour pollution is not easily visible.
Use Formlabs Nylon 12 for:
- High quality prototypes
- Biocompatible medical devices
- Low volume series for end-use components
- Strong and chemically resistant containers, moulds and tools
The Formlabs Nylon SLS offer
Formlabs Nylon 12 SLS Powder is also available in white, one tough and one glass fibre reinforced variant.
Nylon 12 is also known as polyamide 12 and PA-12. This plastic owes its name to the 12 carbon molecules in the monomer.
Formlabs also offers a Nylon 11 for SLS 3D printing, this differs from Nylon 12 with higher flexibility and shock resistance, but lower temperature resistance.
Biocompatibility
Formlabs SLS Nylons can be used for biomedical applications such as ortheses and prostheses, and has been tested according to the following standards:
- Non cytotoxic (ISO 10993-5:2009)
- Non irritating (ISO 10993-10:2010/(R)2014)
- No sensitizer (ISO 10993-10:2010/(R)2014)
- Do not induce fever reaction or systemic toxicity (ISO 10993-11:2017)
It is also possible to vaporize 3D-printed parts, to waterproof and even easier to disinfect and clean.
Post-processing
Vapor smoothing
Nylon can be smoothed and waterproofed by a chemical process. This works by exposing a component in a controlled way to a solvent that melts the outer layer. This process is known as vapor smoothing.
We advise the AMT machines. SLS parts are slightly porous due to the production process. This means that water/moisture will pull into the component, which affects the mechanical properties. By closing the outer layer through vapor smoothing this happens almost no longer and parts become much smoother and more resistant to shocks, with a shiny, almost black tint.
