is a high-performance, bio-based Polyamide 11 (PA 11) powder specifically engineered for Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D printing. It is produced by 3D Systems (part of their DuraForm ProX series). Unlike PA 12 (petrochemical-based), PA 11 is derived from renewable castor oil, offering a unique balance of mechanical toughness and environmental compliance. 3301pa nylon
3301 PA is a workhorse material used across diverse industries: | Material | Stiffness | Elongation | Impact
This report is based on publicly available technical data from 3D Systems and industry standards. Actual values may vary with print orientation, layer thickness, and post-processing. 3301 PA is a workhorse material used across
With a heat deflection temperature reaching up to 179°C under low-load conditions, it maintains its shape in high-heat environments like engine bays or electronic enclosures.
It resists many oils, fuels, and common cleaning agents, although like most polyamides, it can be susceptible to strong acids. Typical Applications
To successfully process 3301 PA Nylon, specific drying and molding parameters must be observed:
