Why Choose Formlabs Nylon 12 Tough Powder?
Produce highly ductile, dimensionally accurate SLS parts with Nylon 12 Tough Powder, engineered for robust functional prototypes and end-use components that benefit from enhanced durability and reduced warpage.
Engineering-Grade Performance
Nylon 12 Tough Powder offers a best-in-class refresh rate and high ductility, enabling strong, impact-resistant parts with reliable mechanical properties across the build chamber.
Ductile and Durable
Formulated to be more ductile than standard Nylon 12, this powder produces parts that are less brittle and better suited for components that bend, flex, or undergo stress without cracking.
Excellent Dimensional Accuracy
Achieve reduced warpage and consistent part dimensions across larger prints and complex geometries, making it ideal for applications requiring high fidelity.
Sustainable Powder Usage
With up to ~80 % reusable powder per build, Nylon 12 Tough Powder supports cost-effective and environmentally friendlier SLS workflows.
Applications
Ideal for functional parts that need toughness, accuracy, and repeated performance.
Consider Nylon 12 Tough Powder for:
- Impact-resistant and durable functional prototypes
- Snap fits, ratchets, and hinges
- Long, slender parts prone to warping
- Compliant mechanisms or flexible assemblies
- Small-batch end-use parts requiring ductility and dimensional precision
Material properties may vary depending on part design, print settings, and post-processing. Users are responsible for validating performance for their specific application.
