Sustainable Performance and Versatility for PA11
Nylon TPU materials for SLS 3D printing offer a unique combination of flexibility, durability, and design freedom, making them suitable for a wide range of applications where rubber-like properties are desired. Their ability to produce complex, functional parts without support structures makes them particularly valuable for prototyping and low-volume production of flexible components
ZONGHENG3D SP-PA12 is a black powdered 3D printed nylon powder that can be used to prepare a variety of resin models, craft items and industrial parts for a wide range of desktop grade SLS printers.
