Polyamide · HDT 90 °C
Nylon 3D printing
Resistant to wear, oils and repeated impact. This is the filament for hinges, gears and clips.
What Nylon is used for
Gears, living hinges, bushings, mechanical spares, clips.
What to watch out for
It absorbs moisture. Fine parts need clearance in the design and, when required, conditioning.
Serial batch: about seven production days

FAQ
Nylon: common questions
01When should you use Nylon in 3D printing?
Resistant to wear, oils and repeated impact. This is the filament for hinges, gears and clips. Typical uses: gears, living hinges, bushings, mechanical spares, clips.
02What are the limits of Nylon?
It absorbs moisture. Fine parts need clearance in the design and, when required, conditioning.
03What temperature can 3D printed Nylon take?
The indicative heat deflection temperature (HDT) is 90 °C. It is a reference value for the filament: real behavior depends on geometry, load and print settings.
04Can you produce serial batches in Nylon?
Yes. The batch runs with the same file and the same parameters, with about seven production days plus shipping. From 10 parts we apply −20%, from 30 parts −40%, and from 100 parts a custom price.
