3D Systems Releases Nylon Material

3D Systems (3DS) has expanded its PlasticJet printing materials to include a Nylon for its CubePro systems. This material, according to the company, provides strength, flexibility and durability of desktop-produced parts.

Nylon for Cube Pro is a blend that includes Nylon 6 and is compatible with Infinity Rinse-Away water-soluble support material. It comes in a new Smart Cartridge and has a hydroscopic seal to extend its shelf life for up to 12 months.

The material has a tensile strength of 4,785 psi and a strength-to-weight ratio of 174 psi.

“We are thrilled to offer this long-awaited material to our core, desktop user base, empowering engineers, small businesses and start-ups alike with the most durable and high performing material for PlasticJet Printing,” said Peter Theran, vice president, Global Consumer Products, 3DS. “Nylon for CubePro takes desktop 3D printing where it’s never gone before: into direct-manufacturing and end-use part production.”
