It’s easier than ever to bring high performance SLS 3D printing in-house with the Formlabs Fuse 1 selective laser sintering (SLS) 3D printer , now with a choice of Nylon 12 Powder for efficient general purpose prototyping and new Nylon 11 Powder for high performance, ductile parts that can take an impact.
Choose Nylon 11 Powder for prototypes that may experience drops or impacts, or for end-use parts that require extra resistance or thin walls.
Nylon 11 Powder is now shipping in all locations where Fuse 1 is available.
In this live webinar, we’ll have our Materials Product Manager, Kyle Dumke, walk you through the workflow for managing materials with the Fuse 1 and Fuse Sift and introduce our latest material offering, Nylon 11 Powder for Fuse 1.
Nylon 12 enables a broad range of applications and is a versatile general use powder for SLS 3D printing. Nylon 11 helps fill the gap for prototyping and end-use applications that require higher ductility, impact-resistance, and the ability to withstand wear and tear without brittle failure. The Fuse 1 is one of the only SLS 3D printers on the market that can print Nylon 11 without the need for a nitrogen purge, reducing the need for strict site requirements and training to print in this material.
Let’s compare the mechanical properties of Nylon 11 Powder and Nylon 12 Powder:
* Material properties may vary based on part design and manufacturing practices. It is the manufacturer’s responsibility to validate the suitability of the printed parts for the intended use.
Formlabs currently recommends a refresh rate of 50% for Nylon 11, compared to 30% for Nylon 12. Refresh rate refers to the ability of an SLS 3D printer to print with a mix of new and recycled powder. The powder refresh rate is the minimum ratio of fresh powder required to print. For Nylon 11 prints, you’ll be able to print with 50% recycled powder. For the highest performance, you may want to use all fresh or a higher percent of fresh powder for the best material properties.
Note: Most SLS printers require a long, messy process to change materials. The Fuse 1 and Fuse Sift are somewhat simpler, but it still takes several hours to change materials. If you want to print multiple materials consistently, consider buying one Fuse 1 and one Fuse Sift per material. Read more in our support article on how to switch Fuse 1 materials.
Nylon 11 Powder creates precise, strong prototypes. Examples include parts with thin curved surfaces, interior joints for machines, and devices that need to come under bending forces for validation. Functional prototypes of snaps, clips, hinges, and thin walled ducts printed in Nylon 11 can withstand repeated use, including drops and impacts, due to its ductility. Furthermore, prototypes that may experience repeating drops, impacts, or bending are also greatly enhanced by Nylon 11’s material properties.

In-house prototyping is a key part of your product development workflows, and we are excited to see what you create with Nylon 11.
Bringing end-use part production in-house is another reason to invest in the Fuse 1. Nylon 11 Powder offers a high-performance material geared towards creating ductile, wear resistant end-use parts.
Nylon 11 is an excellent material for printing replacement parts of all shapes and sizes, especially those that need to survive daily wear and tear. Jigs and fixtures, which can be created with Nylon 12, can be printed even tougher with Nylon 11 for parts that need to survive additional impacts without breaking.
Our goal with the Fuse 1 is to deliver you high-end industrial grade SLS printing at an affordable price. Nylon 11 production parts will allow you to push in-house SLS to its limits, enabling small batch production of parts previously unavailable.
This white paper showcases the cost-dynamics for real-life use cases, and presents guidelines for using SLS 3D printing, injection molding, or both.
Historically, in-house 3D printed nylon powder has been out of reach for many businesses due to a lack of affordable printers and materials. Nylon 11 Powder expands what is possible with the Fuse 1 by enabling the creation of an expansive category of prototypes, and growing your business's ability to bring small-batch production in-house.
The Fuse 1 and Fuse Sift empower you to take control of the design process, print production-ready nylon parts in-house, increase throughput, and bring industrial level SLS 3D printing to the benchtop at a truly entry-level price point. Formlabs is excited to offer both Nylon 12 and Nylon 11, available now wherever Fuse 1 is sold.

In today’s blog post we’d like to scratch the surface of Nylon 12 & 11 - two specialty grades of engineered nylon that are popular in some specialty applications despite what can be a high cost and a supply chain with some limitations.
Nylons 11 & 12 are two sides of a similar coin. Nylon 11 is a bioplastic polyamide chain made from renewable resources. Nylon 12 is a synthetic material mostly derived from petroleum sources. Nylon 12 is most commonly chemically composed from a compound called laurolactam , a monomer with 12 carbons. Nylon 11 is composed from castor beans via chemical isolation of an 11-carbon starter material called 11-aminoundecanoic acid .
Both nylon grades have low water absorption due to the long hydrocarbon chains that compose them. Both have high chemical and UV resistance. PA 12 is especially durable even at low temperatures and has resistance to cracking under stress. PA11 has strong light, weather, and thermal stability. As well as high elongation at break and impact resistance. Finally, the lower moisture absorption of these nylon plastics leads to greater dimensional stability in finished parts (for more on moisture uptake in engineered and specialty nylons, see our post here).
Comparing the products to the more common Nylon 6 can be useful to help understand where each different grade of nylon may shine. Nylon 6 has higher water absorption, which may sometimes be appropriate for an application; nylon 6 also has a higher melt temperature, which can be better-suited for some applications. Finally, nylon 6 is often purchased at a lower cost, and with more different sources of availability, than nylons 11 and 12. Nylon 6 has a low chemical resistance due to the higher number of amide linkages in its polymer chain. This makes nylon 6 a great and economical fit for many widely-used applications.
PA 11 &12 are useful for their flexibility and low moisture absorption. They can be used in packaging films, and can be mixed with polyethylene to improve water vapor permeability. These grades can be used to create gas tubing, insulation in electronics, opacifying and bulking agents in skin care products, as well as sporting goods, tactiles and a host of other applications.
So what are some limitations with Nylon 11 & 12? Nylons 11 and 12 have lower heat deflection temperature (HDT) of around 300 F, and typically have lower tensile at 8,000 psi. Availability can also be limited, because there are few manufacturers of the main feedstock. In the early 2000’s there have been a number of instances where plants could not produce enough material for global demand, resulting in shortages and many brands and product manufacturers unable to fill orders or service their customers.
It can be challenging to find alternative materials that work well. Nylons such as nylon 612 and 610 can suit some similar purposes, but may not have the chemical resistance and flexibility of 11 and 12. And Nylon 11 and 12 can be more expensive than other Nylons due to its limited availability. (For more information, review news sites such as these: 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ). As a result of these shortages and high prices resulting from limited supply, NYCOA has spent years developing a new class of specialty nylon products with high chemical resistance, low moisture absorption, and flexibility, known as NXTamid .
NXTamid features tunable chemical resistance (including resistance that surpasses Nylons 11 and 12) similar flexibility, higher melt temperatures and equal or better moisture absorption. Additionally, NXTamid is made using a unique chemistry and manufacturing process at NYCOA, eliminating many of the bottlenecks that have been seen in the history of Nylon 11 and 12 production.
Hopefully this helps you to get a basic understanding of Nylons 11 & 12. How they compare to industry standard Nylon 6. When utilized to their full potential they offer an integral and unique piece to the puzzle of your materials needs.
NYCOA (the nylon corporation of America) commercially manufactures many grades of nylon, including NXTamid , a unique polyamide substitute to nylon 11 and nylon 12.
