Good Chemical Resistance: Its resistance to a variety of chemicals makes it ideal for use in industrial environments and applications requiring high durability.
Parts with large flat surfaces may deform: During 3D printing, material heating can lead to differences in cooling rates between the various areas of the item. This discrepancy may cause internal stresses, which in turn can cause parts to cool more quickly to bend or warp, a phenomenon that is particularly noticeable in parts with large flat surfaces. To prevent this distortion, known as "warpage", post-press corrective actions or modifications to the original design may be necessary to ensure dimensional stability.
Aerospace: Used for the manufacture of lightweight yet strong components, such as fairings and internal structural parts of aircraft, where the combination of light weight and strength is critical.
Oil and gas industry: Used to make flexible piping and equipment components resistant to oil, gas and other corrosive fluids, exploiting its excellent chemical resistance.
Automotive: Applied in the manufacture of interior and exterior vehicle parts, such as engine components, linings and gaskets, where strength and durability are required.
Sports and Leisure: Nylon PA12 White is used in the production of sports equipment, such as tennis rackets, gym equipment and bicycle parts, where the combination of strength and flexibility is essential.
Electronics: Used as an insulating and protective material for cables, connectors and housings of electronic devices, due to its resistance to temperature and chemicals.
Fashion: White nylon is used for the production of strong and lightweight accessories, such as belt buckles, glasses and shoe parts, where lightness and strength are valued qualities.
Resin: Although resin offers very fine detail and a smooth finish, Nylon PA12 White outperforms resin in terms of strength and flexibility, making it more suitable for parts that must withstand high loads or wear.
ABS: ABS is a popular 3D printing material due to its strength and durability. However, Nylon PA12 White has greater abrasion and chemical resistance, as well as better dimensional stability, making it a better choice in many applications.
Nylon PA12: When comparing White Nylon PA12 and the classic Nylon PA12, some key differences emerge that influence the choice of material according to specific requirements. The classic Nylon PA12 is widely recognised for its excellent mechanical properties and chemical resistance, making it a reliable material for a wide range of applications. On the other hand, Nylon PA12 White brings with it the added advantage of white colouring, which not only retains all the qualities of classic Nylon PA12 but also offers the possibility of being dyed in different colours. This feature makes it particularly suitable for projects requiring not only high technical specifications, but also customised aesthetics. Both materials share similar mechanical properties, ensuring strength and durability in the applications for which they are used. However, Nylon PA12 White, due to its readiness for dyeing, proves to be a preferable choice in situations where aesthetics and colour customisation are crucial. In contrast, classic Nylon PA12 continues to be a solid option for more general applications where colouring is not a determining factor.
In conclusion, Nylon PA12 White, with HP advanced Multi Jet Fusion technology, offers a unique combination of versatility, mechanical properties, chemical resistance and colour customisation possibilities. These features make it an excellent choice for a wide range of 3D printing applications, especially when a functional material in a specific colour is required.

White Nylon PA12 retains all the excellent mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties of standard PA12, making it a versatile and high-performing material. The primary difference lies in its aesthetic qualities and customisation options provided by the white version. Thanks to its neutral colour, White Nylon PA12 can be easily dyed or painted in a wide range of shades, ensuring vivid and uniform colours. This makes it ideal for applications where product aesthetics and design are crucial. Conversely, standard PA12 is available only in raw grey or black, limiting visual customisation options and making it better suited for contexts where aesthetics are not a priority. The ability to customise White Nylon PA12 with dyeing or painting techniques makes it a preferred choice for industries such as industrial design, product design, and architecture, where the final appearance of the product plays a critical role in project success.
White Nylon PA12 is highly valued across various industrial sectors due to its combination of excellent technical properties and aesthetic customisation potential. One of its primary applications is in architecture, where it is used to create detailed models and prototypes representing complex architectural projects. Its ability to be coloured makes it ideal for producing models that accurately reflect the aesthetics of the final project, highlighting details and textures.
In industrial design and product design, White Nylon PA12 is selected for prototypes that must meet strict technical requirements while also presenting an appealing aesthetic. Its ability to produce smooth, uniform surfaces with customised colours allows designers to present prototypes that faithfully reflect the appearance of the final product.
