Choosing PA 2200
A balanced white SLS PA12 choice when one powder must cover functional prototypes, fixtures and durable production-like components.
- Consider it for
- Jigs, grippers and fixtures · Brackets, covers and threaded functional prototypes · Complex assemblies where a neutral dyeable nylon finish is useful
- Tradeoffs
- The published Z elongation is much lower than X/Y, and HDT at 1.8 MPa is modest for a nylon; do not use it as a high-load hot-environment default.
- Design and validation
- Place the most strain-sensitive feature with the orientation data in mind and validate hinge, thread and loaded-snap performance on representative builds.
- Finishing
- Parts are white as printed; dyeing is a post-process choice, not a powder colour selector. Blasting can even the SLS texture but will not turn a porous surface into a sealed fluid barrier.
- Before choosing
- Do you need PA11 ductility for a clip or impact event? Do you need glass-filled stiffness or a flame-retardant grade instead?
