SLS MATERIALS
For functional use
3D print production-ready, end-use parts on Formlabs SLS printers with their SLS Powders. Formlabs materials, hardware, and software are developed and validated together to deliver peak performance while optimizing cost per part.
Nylon 12
Balancing strength and detail, Nylon 12 Powder is a highly capable material for both functional prototyping and end-use production of complex assemblies and durable parts with high environmental stability. Our Nylon 12 Powder is specifically developed for use on the Fuse 1.
Nylon 12 Powder is ideal for:
- High performance prototyping
- Small batch manufacturing
- Permanent jigs, fixtures, and tooling
- Biocompatible, sterilizable parts*
* Material properties may vary based on part design and manufacturing practices. It is the manufacturer’s responsibility to validate the suitability of the printed parts for the intended use.
Tensile strength: 50 MPa
Elongation at break (X/Y): 11%
Refresh rate: 30%
Nylon 12 GF
A glass-filled material with enhanced stiffness and thermal stability for demanding industrial environments. Choose Nylon 12 GF Powder to produce stiff functional prototypes or end-use parts for applications where structural rigidity and thermal stability are critical.
Nylon 12 GF Powder is ideal for:
- Robust jigs and fixtures and replacement parts
- Parts undergoing sustained loading
- Threads and sockets
- Parts subjected to elevated temperatures
Tensile modulus: 2800 MPa
Heat deflection temperature @ 1.8 Mpa: 113 °C
Refresh rate: 30-50%
Nylon 11
For highly ductile, robust parts, Nylon 11 Powder is our higher performance nylon material for functional prototyping and small batch production. Compared to Nylon 12 Powder, our Nylon 11 Powder is more flexible, less brittle, and better at printing thin walls.
Nylon 11 Powder is ideal for:
- Impact-resistant prototypes, jigs, and fixtures
- Thin-walled ducts and enclosures
- Snaps, clips, and hinges
- Orthotics and prosthetics*
*Material properties may vary based on part design and manufacturing practices. It is the manufacturer’s responsibility to validate the suitability of the printed parts for the intended use.
Tensile strength: 49 MPa
Elongation at break (X/Y): 40%
Refresh rate: 50%
Nylon 11 CF
Get the best of nylon and carbon fiber with this highly stable, high-performance material, perfect for end-use applications that require both high stiffness and superior strength. Choose Nylon 11 CF Powder to produce lightweight rigid parts that can withstand repeated impact.
Nylon 11 CF Powder is ideal for:
- Replacement and spare alternatives for metal parts
- Tooling, jigs, fixtures
- High-impact equipment
- Functional composite prototypes
Tensile strength (X): 69 MPa
Modulus (X): 5300 MPa
Refresh rate (Inert Gas): 30%
