<\/a><\/p>\n

Not long ago, Formlabs<\/a> launched a new ESD Resin<\/a> specifically for applications that need to keep parts safe from electrostatic discharge (ESD). Now, the double unicorn<\/a> has announced the latest member of its selective laser sintering (SLS) range of materials\u2014the new high-performance Nylon 12 GF Powder<\/a>. Good for 3D printing engineering and manufacturing functional prototypes and end-use parts that require thermal stability and structural rigidity, the newly launched material offers excellent stiffness and is the latest meant for use with the Formlabs Fuse 1 industrial SLS 3D printer<\/a>, which was released last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Formlabs\u2019 Nylon 12 GF powder makes it possible to 3D print parts that are thermally stable, and can maintain their dimensional accuracy under load. In the past, glass-filled Nylon materials have been used for a variety of applications, such as 3D printing a scale model<\/a>, a prosthetic drum stick<\/a>, a bike rack<\/a>, loudspeakers<\/a>, and even a bar<\/a>! This particular material\u2014one of many Formlabs is planning to introduce for its industrial Fuse 1 3D printer\u2014is said to be a good choice for printing threads and sockets, strong jigs and fixtures, parts subjected to high temperatures and sustained loading, functional prototypes for compsite parts, and replacement parts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
