PA11 HP PA 11 vs PA11 Sinterit PA11 CF
Polymer · PA11 grade comparison
HP 3D High Reusability PA 11 and Sinterit PA11 CF are two grades of the same polymer grade, PA11: HP PA 11 versus Sinterit PA11 CF. The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Sinterit PA11 CF is the stronger of the two: tensile strength 81 MPa (11.7 ksi) against 52 MPa (7.54 ksi) for HP 3D High Reusability PA 11, about 56% more. In exchange, HP 3D High Reusability PA 11 is the more ductile: elongation 50% versus 24.5% for Sinterit PA11 CF. HP 3D High Reusability PA 11 is lighter (1.05 g/cm³ vs 1.09 g/cm³ for Sinterit PA11 CF) and Sinterit PA11 CF is stiffer (2.95 GPa vs 1.8 GPa).
HP 3D High Reusability PA 11Choose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded, or when weight is the constraint.
Sinterit PA11 CFChoose it when strength drives the design.
HP 3D High Reusability PA 11 vs Sinterit PA11 CF: propertiesHow to read these bars
- One bar per material. A full bar is the highest value among all polymer grades in the FabDigit library; each bar is drawn as a share of that.
- The better value (by the usual engineering direction) is in bold. Rows with no direction — density, thermal conductivity — have no bold.
- Values are typical room-temperature figures for the condition named on each card.
- Confirm against the certified mill or resin datasheet before design release.
