## Material Info  
### About  
Nylon 11 or PA11, is a biocompatible nylon material that is durable and flexible, making it optimal for use in exterior medical applications. Our PA11 is printed using SLS technology, which uses a laser to sinter nylon powder into plastic layer by layer. It is tensile, durable, and impact-resistant with high elongation at break. PA11 is offered in a natural white finish. More information about this printing technology can be found [Here.](/content/3d-print-material-technology/sls/index.html)

### Color & Finishes
