Nylon 12 White Powder combines all of the great qualities of general purpose, biocompatible Nylon 12 Powder with the customizability of white parts. Create medical devices, models with high contrast and detail, or functional prototypes that can be easily dyed to suit specific applications.
Nylon 12 White powder offers a clean and professional finish, which more closely matches the color and texture of parts produced with MJF than traditional SLS printed parts. See the finish for yourself with a free sample part.
Using Nylon 12 White Powder
Nylon 12 White Powder requires bed temperature tuning and powder aging before starting the first print. We recommend printing in an inert atmosphere for best results.
Choosing the Right SLS Powder
Certain SLS Powders may be better suited for your specific applications than others. Read this article for expectations and guidelines.

Why Choose Nylon 12 White Powder
Get all the benefits of the general purpose Nylon 12 Powder, but with the increased customizability of white SLS parts.
White Parts
Crisp and clean white color for high-contrast parts. Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) white powder (left), Formlabs Nylon 12 White Powder (middle), and EOS SLS white powder (right).
Durable Aesthetic
A coarser surface appearance that is forgiving of scratches and wear to maintain a long-lasting appearance.
Biocompatible
White is the industry standard for medical devices and guides. Samples printed with Nylon 12 White Powder have been evaluated for biocompatibility under ISO standards. See the TDS for detailed results.
Versatile
A highly capable thermoplastic with great dimensional accuracy for detailed and complex parts. Produce prototypes and end use parts that match brand aesthetic with easy dyeing for a wide range of colors.
Applications
Choose Nylon 12 White Powder for both functional prototyping and end-use production of high contrast, detailed white parts that can be dyed with custom colors to match brand aesthetics.
- Branded, looks-like prototypes
- Low volume, end-use parts
- Biocompatible medical devices and models

* 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.
