Nylon 3D Printing

Nylon 3D Printing Services

Polyamide, commonly known as nylon, is a generic term for polymers containing amide groups in the repeating units of the main chain of a macromolecule. Polyamide can be produced by the ring-opening polymerisation of endoamines or by the condensation of diamines with dibasic acids.

PA has good overall properties, including mechanical properties, heat resistance, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance and self-lubrication, and low coefficient of friction. PA has a wide range of varieties, including PA6, PA66, PAll, PAl2, PA46, PA610, PA612, PAl010, etc., as well as the development of semi-aromatic nylon PA6T and special nylon and other new varieties in recent years.Nylon is therefore one of the very important 3D printing materials in the 3D printing market. Nylon is a synthetic polymer that is abrasion resistant, tough, strong and heat resistant. These properties make nylon ideal for a variety of 3D printing applications.

The Advantage Of Nylon 3D Printing

1. Suitable for prototype and functionally proven parts such as gears and tools, nylon can be reinforced with carbon or glass fibre, resulting in lightweight parts with excellent mechanical properties.
2. Nylon has a high degree of rigidity and flexibility. When you print thin products your parts will be flexible, and when printing thicker walls your parts will be rigid. This is ideal for producing components such as moving hinges with rigid parts and flexible joints.
3. Nylon printed parts have some graininess, are unsupported and require little or no post-processing.
4. Nylon 3D printing can be used to make moving and interlocking parts. This eliminates the need to assemble individually printed parts and allows for faster production of highly complex objects.

Compared to ABS and PLA materials, nylon materials are not widely used in the manufacturing industry due to their lower strength and stiffness. In summary, nylon 3D printing materials have the majority of advantages and are therefore very widely used.
