Colors:
- Gray
- Any color is achievable with finishing
Description:
It is a metallic grey polyamide powder filled with aluminium. This combination makes the material strong and durable, while still being lightweight. Nylon 12 is often used in 3D printing applications because it can create strong, detailed parts. When filled with aluminium, the material is also conductive, making it ideal for creating electrical components or printed circuit boards.

Bead blasting
Depowdering of parts with bead blasting. The final parts are slightly grainy in the touch with a satin-like matte appearance.
Notes:Semi-sintered surface particles remain on the part even after initial depowdering.
Final result:
- Slightly grainy in the touch
- Satin-like matte appearence
-
