frequently asked questions

What is Nylon 12 Tough Powder used for?

It’s ideal for functional prototypes and end-use parts that require both strength and flexibility—such as housings, hinges, jigs, fixtures, and snap-fit components.

How is Nylon 12 Tough Powder different from standard Nylon 12 or Nylon 12 GF?

Nylon 12 Tough offers greater ductility and impact resistance than standard Nylon 12, while Nylon 12 GF (glass-filled) is stiffer and better for load-bearing or high-heat applications.

What are the thermal capabilities of Nylon 12 Tough Powder?

It can withstand temperatures up to 161 °C (321 °F), making it suitable for parts exposed to heat or mechanical stress.

What surface finish and color can I expect from Nylon 12 Tough Powder?

Parts print in a matte gray finish with a slightly rough texture typical of SLS nylon materials, offering a professional, functional appearance.

Which printer is compatible with Nylon 12 Tough Powder?

It’s formulated for the Formlabs Fuse 1+ 30W SLS printer, optimized for high-performance, production-grade part printing.
