MJF Nylon 12 (Raw Grey)

The nylon material has excellent mechanical properties, and its strength and density exceed parts produced by other powder bed printing technologies. Its excellent strength makes it an excellent choice for functional components such as drone parts, remote control car accessories, mechanical fixtures, camera brackets and mobile phone cases. Its surface is semi-glossy and slightly grainy, and it is also very suitable for making jewelry, home decoration, toys and game props. HP nylon plastic can be considered a general purpose plastic with a wide range of applications.

Painting

Finish options

Glossy and matte paint finishes available

Best for

Adding custom color and a protective paint layer to MJF Nylon 12 (Raw Grey) parts for functional prototype testing.

Note

Validate paint adhesion, masking boundaries, and coating coverage on MJF Nylon 12 (Raw Grey) before production, especially around interfaces, edges, and fine details.

Vapor Smoothing

Surface result

Chemically smoothed surfaces with reduced layer lines

Best for

Reducing visible layer lines on MJF Nylon 12 (Raw Grey) parts used for functional prototype testing and appearance-critical prototypes.

Note

Confirm material compatibility, feature retention, and dimensional impact on MJF Nylon 12 (Raw Grey) before vapor smoothing.

Sand Blasting

Surface result

Uniform matte texture

Best for

Creating a uniform matte texture on MJF Nylon 12 (Raw Grey) parts used for functional prototype testing and display or functional prototypes.

Note

Confirm masking and feature retention on MJF Nylon 12 (Raw Grey); abrasive blasting can change texture and soften fine details.
