Choosing PA11 Onyx
A black PA11 choice for impact-resistant, ductile parts on the Sinterit Lisa X or NILS 480 workflow.
- Consider it for
- Durable black housings · Impact-resistant functional prototypes · Clips or compliant consumer components
- Tradeoffs
- The published sheet reports X-direction figures; do not infer through-build performance or broad chemical resistance from that single direction.
- Design and validation
- Keep critical snap and impact features in the documented orientation where practical, then validate on the target printer and post-processing route.
- Finishing
- The black finish is as printed, not a dyeable base. Use bead blasting or coating only after reviewing friction, texture and dimensional effects.
- Before choosing
- Is an all-black as-printed appearance mandatory? Would PA11 CF's stiffness justify its orientation sensitivity?
