HP MJF Nylon 12, or HP PA 12, is a high-performance thermoplastic material offering various benefits in various industries. It is a polymer highly resistant to chemicals, making it ideal for creating components that withstand harsh environments. The material has excellent tensile strength, which means it can withstand high stress without breaking or deforming.
HP Nylon 12 is also biocompatible, making it safe for medical applications and devices. It complies with the USP Class I-V and US FDA standards for devices that come into contact with intact skin surfaces. This means it can be used for implants, surgical instruments, and other medical devices requiring high strength and biocompatibility.
In addition to its chemical resistance and biocompatibility, HP MJF Nylon 12 has excellent dimensional stability and is highly resistant to heat and impact. It also has low moisture absorption, making it suitable for humid environments. These properties make it an excellent material for automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications.
Overall, HP Nylon 12 is a versatile material with a unique combination of strength, chemical resistance, and biocompatibility, making it a popular choice among engineers and designers in various industries.

About Multi-Jet Fusion
The HP Multi-Jet Fusion printer is a state-of-the-art additive manufacturing device that combines powdered thermoplastic material, liquid agent, and infrared energy to produce highly accurate components. Once the process is complete, our AM technicians carefully remove any excess powder, preparing the parts for use or further refinement.
This innovative technology is particularly effective in creating functional nylon prototypes and end-use parts. Its most significant advantage, however, is in producing brackets, connectors, hinges, housings, and thin-wall ductwork with exceptional precision. The Multi-Jet Fusion printer is also well-suited for producing intricate details in large quantities.
