What is EOS PA 3200 GF?
EOS PA 3200 GF is EOS' PA12 (GB-filled) powder for Selective Laser Sintering on EOS FORMIGA P 110 / P 396 / P 500 / P 770. EOS PA 3200 GF has a tensile strength of 51 MPa (7.4 ksi), stronger than 55% of polymer grades. Elongation at break is 9% and the elastic modulus is 3.2 GPa (0.464 Msi). EOS PA 3200 GF has a density of 1.22 g/cm³ (0.0441 lb/in³), heavier than 61% of polymer grades.
Advantages
- Stiff — 3.2 GPa (0.464 Msi), better than 77% of polymer grades

Choosing PA 3200 GF
Glass-bead-filled PA12 for stiff, abrasion-exposed SLS parts where dimensional stability matters more than ductility.
- Consider it for
- Loaded housings · Wear-prone machine components · Forming tools and fixtures
- Tradeoffs
- The 40 wt% glass-bead filler raises stiffness and heat performance but lowers elongation; it is a filled PA12, not a general-purpose flexible nylon.
- Design and validation
- Use generous radii at stress concentrators and account for the lower Z modulus and elongation in a loaded part. Treat the filler as glass beads, not continuous glass fibre.
- Finishing
- Confirm the finished colour and available dye or coating route for this filled grade. Check adhesion and wear on a representative coupon.
- Before choosing
- Is stiffness and abrasion resistance more important than snap-fit compliance? Would unfilled PA12 reduce brittleness at a notch?
