Nylon Powder
Durable, Reliable, Repeatable: Nylon Powder for 3D Printing
Nylon powder is the go-to material for creating tough, lightweight, and functional parts with powder bed fusion technologies like SLS (Selective Laser Sintering).
If your projects demand robust mechanical performance, chemical resistance and design flexibility, nylon powder is a smart choice.
At Additive-X, we stock a range of nylon powders engineered for precision and strength. Whether you’re prototyping, creating functional assemblies or producing end-use parts, our materials deliver dependable performance and excellent surface finishes.
What is Nylon Powder?
Nylon powder is a thermoplastic polymer used in powder-based 3D printing systems. Once sintered, it forms durable and highly detailed parts suitable for a wide range of industries including automotive, aerospace, consumer products and engineering.
Unlike traditional filaments, nylon powder is fused layer by layer in a heated chamber, allowing for highly complex geometries and interlocking designs without the need for support structures.
Why Choose Nylon Powder?
Nylon powder offers several advantages for advanced 3D printing workflows:
- Superior Strength and Flexibility: Nylon powder strikes a balance between toughness and flexibility, making it perfect for functional components under load.
- Excellent Chemical and Thermal Resistance: Ideal for parts exposed to demanding environments or needing extended lifecycle performance.
- Design Freedom: Produce interlocking parts, hinges and complex assemblies in one go without compromising strength.
- Consistent Results: Materials like Formlabs Nylon 12 and Nylon 11 provide high dimensional accuracy and repeatability across builds.
- Cost-Effective Production: High recyclability and nesting efficiency reduce material waste and keep per-part costs down.
If you're running SLS printers, using nylon powder can help you get more out of your machine, with parts that are production-ready straight off the bed.
