Common Questions About Nylon

Expert answers to help you make informed decisions

What are the different types of nylon for 3D printing?

Common nylon types include PA12 (excellent balance of properties), PA6 (higher strength and stiffness), PA11 (bio-based with good flexibility), and PA6/66 (highest strength). We help you select the optimal grade based on your mechanical requirements, environmental conditions, and budget.

How does moisture affect nylon parts?

Nylon is hygroscopic and absorbs moisture from air, which can affect dimensions and mechanical properties. Parts may absorb 2-3% moisture at equilibrium, increasing flexibility and impact strength while slightly reducing tensile strength. We can apply moisture barrier coatings or use glass-filled grades for improved dimensional stability.

Can nylon parts be post-processed or finished?

Yes, nylon accepts various post-processing methods including dyeing, vapor smoothing for glossy finish, bead blasting for matte texture, painting, and machining operations. Parts can also be welded, drilled, or tapped for threads. We offer comprehensive finishing services to meet your aesthetic and functional requirements.

Is nylon suitable for outdoor applications?

Standard nylon has moderate UV resistance and may degrade with prolonged sun exposure. For outdoor use, we recommend UV-stabilized nylon grades or protective coatings. Nylon performs excellently in temperature-varying environments and resists most weather conditions, making it suitable for many outdoor applications with proper material selection.

What tolerances can be achieved with nylon 3D printing?

SLS nylon printing typically achieves ±0.15mm tolerance on smaller features and ±0.3% on larger dimensions. FDM nylon offers ±0.2-0.3mm depending on part size. For critical dimensions requiring tighter tolerances, we can apply precision machining operations. Material moisture content is controlled during manufacturing to minimize dimensional variation.

Can nylon be reinforced for higher strength?

Yes, nylon can be reinforced with glass fibers (15-30%) for increased stiffness and strength, carbon fiber for maximum strength-to-weight ratio, or mineral fillers for improved dimensional stability and reduced warping. Reinforced grades are ideal for structural applications requiring enhanced mechanical properties. We offer various reinforced nylon options to match your performance needs.
