From Functional Prototypes to Complex, Low-Volume Parts.
Nylon parts are used widely, but when standard nylon is not tough enough, glass filled nylon is a good candidate. This polyamide engineering plastic offers higher strength, stiffness and heat resistance by adding powdered glass to nylon resin or compounding nylon with glass fibres.
MJF 3D printing is a polymer powder-bed fusion process engineered for high throughput and mechanical consistency. Unlike legacy methods, it delivers functional, end-use parts with near-isotropic properties, making it a highly viable alternative to injection molding for low-to-mid volume production.
