Polyamide powder is a versatile material used in 3D printing, powder coatings, and more – offering strength, durability, and flexibility.
HISTORY / ORIGIN
Polyamide powders have been used in powder coatings for decades. They gained prominence with the rise of selective laser sintering (SLS) 3D printing technology.
TYPES OF POLYAMIDE POWDER
PA 12 (Nylon 12) – The most common for 3D printing.
PA 11 (Nylon 11) – Derived from renewable sources.
PA 6 (Nylon 6) – For industrial applications.
Glass-Filled Polyamide – For enhanced strength.
Carbon-Filled Polyamide – For lightweight applications.
MATERIALS / KEY FEATURES
Polyamide powders are lightweight, durable, and chemically resistant. They are available in various particle sizes for different applications.
