Term · Additive manufacturing and 3D printing · MLC-T-ADM-000254

A synthetic thermoplastic polymer widely used in additive manufacturing, particularly in powder bed fusion and material extrusion processes, due to its strength, flexibility, and abrasion resistance. It is a polyamide (PA) and can be reinforced with carbon fiber or glass fiber for enhanced mechanical properties. Nylon 6 and Nylon 12 are common variants.
