HD 3D HR PA 12 W

PA12 W is a versatile, high-performance material designed to meet the demands of modern additive manufacturing with the benefit of added color customization post print. Its tensile strength, elongation, and modulus make it the go-to choice for producing functional, high-quality parts that thrive in demanding environments.

Strength and Flexibility

PA12 W is a high-performance material that combines exceptional tensile strength, tensile modulus, and elongation, making it ideal for demanding 3D printing applications. Its ability to resist breaking under tension and maintain shape under stress ensures reliable, durable parts.

Additionally, its balance of flexibility and durability allows parts to absorb stress and endure everyday strains, making it suitable for products like prosthetics, protective housings, and wearable technology. This unique combination of properties makes PA12 W a versatile choice for creating tough, adaptable, and long-lasting components.

Color Customization

3D printing with PA 12 W opens up a world of possibilities for color customization, making it an excellent choice for industries and creatives alike. Its naturally white base provides a perfect canvas for vibrant and precise color application, allowing for stunning visual results.

Unlike darker materials that can mute colors, the bright white hue of PA 12 W ensures that dyed or painted finishes appear true-to-tone and more vivid. This characteristic is especially beneficial for industries like consumer goods and automotive design, where aesthetic appeal and color accuracy are critical.

Applicable Across Industries

Thanks to its exceptional mechanical properties, PA12 W is ideal for producing functional parts across a range of industries, from healthcare to automotive to consumer goods and more. In healthcare, it’s used to create durable prosthetics and surgical tools. In automotive, it offers high-strength solutions for parts that need to withstand extreme conditions.
