Printing Technologies Compatible with Nylon

Common Nylon Types

  • Nylon 11 (PA 11) – It has the characteristics of high strength, corrosion resistance, good toughness, high tensile strength, low water absorption, oil resistance, wear resistance, acid and alkali resistance, good dimensional stability and excellent low-temperature resistance.
  • Nylon 12 (PA 12) – Lower melting point and high fatigue strength. Perfect for snap-fit designs
  • Nylon 6 – High strength and flexibility; ideal for FDM prints needing toughness and impact resistance.

Nylon Composites

To meet even more specific needs, nylon is often blended with other materials:

  • Carbon-Fiber NylonLightweight and stiff, used for tools and functional prototypes.
  • Glass-Fiber Nylon – High stiffness and heat resistance, ideal for static load applications.
  • Aluminum-Filled Nylon – Metallic finish with improved strength, good for demo models and automotive parts.
  • Flame-Retardant Nylon – Safe for aviation and commercial use, passes FST standards.
  • Mineral-Filled Nylon (HST) – High precision and heat resistance, used in load-bearing applications.

Final Thoughts

Nylon is quickly becoming a go-to material in industrial, automotive, aerospace, and consumer product manufacturing. Its compatibility with various printing methods and ability to form composite blends make it a powerful choice for anyone looking to push the limits of 3D printing.
