Frequently Asked Questions

What makes SLS PA12 ideal for parts requiring high detail resolution or fine cosmetic features?

Its powder and laser process produce clean edges and crisp detail, making it a strong alternative to PA11 for fine white nylon parts.

How does the naturally white SLS-PA12 surface improve post-processing options such as coloring, coating or branding?

White nylon parts absorb dyes evenly and provide a clean base for coatings or printed branding, especially compared to biobased nylon like PA11.

What should designers consider when choosing SLS-PA12 for small components or intricate geometries?

Fine walls need proper thickness, and tiny features need good support design when working with PA12 or biobased nylon variants such as PA11.
