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.

Unlike the traditional production, the on-demand and customized high-mix, low-volume manufacturing services of RPWORLD allows for the design flexibility that mass manufacturing cannot offer. Moreover, the process, tooling and materials being used for low-volume parts sometimes are not as certain as those of mass production parts. That’s why quality assurance is paramount at RPWORLD and it’s one of the core benefits for our customers.
