Nylon PA12 Full Color

About

Nylon PA12 Full Color (MJF) is HP’s 3D High Reusability CB PA12 with excellent mechanical properties and a slightly grainy finish. Using a full color model, it is also available in a smooth finish, with a slightly glossy finish that helps make the color more vibrant. Nylon PA12 Full Color (MJF) is an ideal choice for a wide range of applications from industrial parts to durable end-use goods. Its strength and durability make it great for functional parts, such structural parts and mounts. Nylon PA12 Full Color (MJF) is printed using HP’s Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) technology and supports very complex geometries and thin features.

Note that Black or dark colors will not appear as rendered due to technology limitations.
