Material
FDM — PA12 Nylon
One of the most common grades of Nylon, PA12 makes items of exceptional strength and toughness. The items produced from PA12 has exceptional resistance to both temperature, mechanical stress and chemicals, making this an ideal material for use in harsh environments. Unlike most other plastics, PA12 (and other nylons) also have self-lubricating properties making it possible to print complex gear-assemblies and bearing surfaces.
