Nylon is a high performance polymer material in traditional industry. Nylon has also become one of the most widely used materials in 3D printing. PA6, PA11, PA12, PA66 and so on often appear in the available materials for 3D printing. In form, it is divided into powder materials which can be used for powder bed 3D printing technology, such as selective laser sintering (SLS) and multi-jet fusion (M...

What is PA12-LCF? PA12-LCF is a thermoplastic material, belonging to the nylon class. PA12-LCF is based on nylon 12, which has 12 carbon atoms in each polymer repeat unit. Nylon 12 is also known as polyamide 12 or PA12. It is a semi-crystalline material with a high melting point (180°C) and a low moisture absorption rate (0.5%). It is also resistant to chemicals, wear and impact. PA12-LCF is a mod...

Introduction Fiber-reinforced polymer composites, due to their lightweight and high-strength characteristics, have found applications in many fields, especially in the transportation sector, where they can effectively reduce vehicle weight and better achieve energy savings and emission reductions. Among them, long glass fiber (LGF) reinforced polyamide materials (PA/LGF) are widely used in the man...
