Why Choose Nylon 11 Powder
Nylon 11 Powder is a ductile, strong, flexible material for when durability and performance are key.
High Ductility
Print end-use parts that can handle wear and tear over time.
Thin Walls
Print enclosures, ducts, and other geometries with ease using Nylon 11 Powder.
Seamless Workflow
3D print in Nylon 11 Powder in-house without the hassle of other SLS 3D printers.
Environmental Stability
Nylon 11 Powder prints absorb very little moisture and are resistant to light, heat, and chemicals.
Applications
Nylon 11 Powder parts can handle wear and tear over time. For higher performance functional prototyping and end-use products that can take an impact and keep going, choose Nylon 11 Powder.
* Material properties may vary based on part design and manufacturing practices. It is the manufacturer’s responsibility to validate the suitability of the printed parts for the intended use.

* Nylon 12 White Powder is recommended to print in nitrogen to maintain the most consistent white appearance. Printing in air has been correlated with yellowing of powder over time. Powder yellowing has little to no impact on the ability and efficacy of dyeing printed parts.
** Nylon 11 Powder is recommended to print in nitrogen environment. Printing in air is possible, but will compromise material properties and lead to powder degradation at a faster rate.
Post-Processing
Post-processing with the Fuse Sift powder recovery station and a media blasting station is recommended. To learn more about post-processing Fuse 1 prints, download our workflow guide.
