Nylon
Nylon is a strong and durable 3D printing material that is commonly used in industrial applications, such as automotive parts, gears, and tools. It is a thermoplastic material that is known for its toughness, wear resistance, and low friction. Nylon is compatible with FDM (fused deposition modeling) and SLS (selective laser sintering) 3D printing technologies. It is available in filament form for FDM printing and powder form for SLS printing. Nylon parts can be printed with good strength, flexibility, and impact resistance. When printing with nylon, it is important to use a heated build platform to ensure good adhesion of the first layer and prevent warping or curling of the printed part. Nylon can also absorb moisture from the air, so it is important to store it in a dry environment or use a filament dryer to remove any moisture before printing. Overall, Nylon is a useful material for producing strong, durable parts with good wear resistance and low friction, making it a popular choice in industrial and engineering applications. It is also compatible with a variety of finishing techniques, such as sanding, painting, and dyeing, which can further enhance its properties and appearance.
