SLS PA12 Nylon Unfilled

What is SLS PA12 Nylon

Selective Laser Sintering uses a laser to fuse thin layers of nylon powder into solid geometry inside a heated build chamber. PA12 refers to nylon 12, a long chain polyamide with low moisture uptake compared with other nylons. The low moisture uptake helps parts hold size and mechanical performance over time. The process supports complex internal features because unsintered powder supports the part during the build. No support structures are required, which reduces post processing and preserves fine details.

Applications that Benefit from PA12 Nylon

• Functional prototypes for housings, brackets, and fasteners used in bench testing and field pilots.

• Production fixtures including nests, soft jaws, and locator blocks that work around complex part geometry.

• Air and fluid handling components such as manifolds, ducts, and guards that require leak resistant walls and stable size.

• Electrical enclosures where low moisture uptake improves gasket performance and long term sealing.

• Consumer and wearables with certain living hinges, snap fits, and repeated use features.

• Automotive under hood clips, cable guides, and sensor mounts that see both heat and fluids.

• Medical and laboratory non implant components and housings where cleanliness and wipe down resistance are priorities. Our PA12 is compatible for skin contact.
