NYLON filament from AzureFilm is a filament consisting of NYLON Technical4000 ™ pellets. It is an industrial nylon PA-6 product that combines excellent mechanical, chemical and flexible printing properties.
Polyamide PA6 (Nylon) is an extremely durable material. Nylon items have high resistance to abrasion and high temperatures. This material also has good insulating properties, chemical resistance to greases and oils, and high mechanical strength.
Among technical filaments for FDM 3D printers, Nylon is one of the strongest, most durable and most versatile materials due to its interlayer adhesion and low friction. It is a rigid filament, but under pressure it has the ability to flex and prevent breakage.
For all these peculiarities, models made with NYLON filament from AzureFilm can be used for:
- Production of gears and racks, plain bearings, scraper gears and guide rollers operating at high temperatures
- Ring and plate seals with enhanced chemical and corrosion resistance
- Finished parts
- Tools
- Functional prototypes
- Industrial modeling
All nylon filaments are particularly sensitive to moisture, so it is extremely important to provide for drying before use. Ideally, a drying chamber should also be used while printing so that the bobbin can be preserved in the best way possible.
What are the main aspects of NYLON 3D printing filament Azurefilm?
NYLON filament from Azurefilm is characterized by several aspects:
- High strength, high flexibility, high durability
- Abrasion-resistant filament
- High temperature resistance (up to 160 °C for short periods)
- Chemical resistance to lubricants and oils
- Minimal shrinkage
- Use of a heated platen is required
- A printer with a nozzle that prints at high temperatures (above 250°C) is required
Note: For best possible performance, it is recommended to dry the material thoroughly before printing. Storage in a dry, dark place with less than 15 percent humidity is ideal.
