If you’re working in sectors like automotive, aerospace, or industrial design, our carefully selected PA6 filaments offer the durability and dimensional stability your projects demand.
What Is PA6?
PA6 (polyamide 6) is a high-performance filament known for its excellent mechanical strength, wear resistance, and chemical resilience. Unlike more brittle plastics, PA6 absorbs impact, resists fatigue, and thrives in high-load environments. It also has good thermal resistance and low friction, making it perfect for functional moving parts, brackets, and mounts.
Many of the PA6 filaments we stock feature additional reinforcement, such as glass fibres or carbon fibres, to further enhance stiffness and heat tolerance while reducing warping. And with compatibility across a range of professional 3D printers, including those from Bambu Lab, you can print with confidence right out of the box.
Why Choose PA6?
PA6 offers an exceptional balance of strength, flexibility, and performance, especially in applications where failure is not an option. Whether you’re printing machine components or stress-tested jigs and fixtures, this material delivers:
• High tensile strength for parts under load
• Superior layer adhesion for improved reliability
• Thermal stability in elevated-temperature environments
• Resilience to oils, fuels, and industrial chemicals
Ready for Production, Built for Real Use
The PA6 filaments available at Additive-X come from trusted, performance-led brands that engineers rely on. Combined with the right print setup, including hardened nozzles and enclosed chambers, PA6 can deliver end-use quality straight off the build plate.
For optimal results, we always recommend proper drying and fine-tuned settings, and our team is here to help you optimise your print environment.
