3d printed part using Nylon 6 FDM thermoplastic

FDM Nylon 6 provides the desirable characteristics of industrial nylon 6 synthetic polymer in an FDM filament. It possesses an optimal combination of tensile strength and toughness among FDM materials, and fills a niche between the flexibility of FDM Nylon 12 and the rigidity of carbon-filled FDM Nylon 12CF.

Key Attributes

FDM Nylon 6 Thermoplastic 3D printed material

FDM Nylon 6 has similar properties to its industrial form and offers another high-capability 3D printing material.

Optimal durability – combines the high tensile strength similar to ULTEM 9085 with the toughness of nylon.
Possesses good elongation and elasticity characteristics allowing it to retain its shape after deformation.
Specifically formulated for FDM printing, delivering the properties of nylon 6 and the capability for successful prints.

Key Applications

The inherent benefits of nylon 6 make it a cost effective material for a variety of higher-requirement applications.

Makes for effective functional prototyping, particularly if the final part is also nylon 6 or a nylon with similar properties.
Highly suitable for tooling applications that need higher strength along with wear resistance and toughness.
Useful as a bridge to production or for small-volume and highly-customized manufacturing.
