About the Material

Advantages:

  1. High Strength and Toughness: Black Nylon 12 provides good tensile strength and impact resistance, making it suitable for functional parts.

  2. Consistent Mechanical Properties: MJF technology ensures that parts have consistent mechanical properties, making them reliable for functional use.

  3. Smooth Surface Finish: Parts printed with MJF have a relatively smooth surface finish, reducing the need for post-processing.

  4. Complex Geometries: MJF allows for the production of complex geometries and internal features without the need for support structures.

Limitations:

  1. Limited Heat Resistance: Black Nylon 12 has moderate heat resistance, which may limit its use in high-temperature applications.

  2. Surface Porosity: Parts may have some surface porosity, which may require additional finishing for certain applications.

  3. Post-Processing Requirements: Parts may require bead blasting or other post-processing to achieve the desired surface finish.
