Nylon Family of FDM Materials
Stratasys offers three types of Nylon materials for fused deposition modeling (FDM) to meet the varying application needs of strength and flexibility—but, when to choose which material? To better help you decide, weve created a material comparison of Nylon 12, Nylon 6 and Nylon 12CF (carbon-filled)—compare characteristics, layer height, use cases and additional information all in one PDF download.

We also recently caught up with who stopped by 鶹ýӳ’s production center in Oakland to talk about these commonly used thermoplastics—watch the video to learn more about when to use Nylon 12, Nylon 6 and Nylon 12CF. Want to evaluate these materials even further? Download the technical datasheets below.
| MATERIAL DATASHEET | KEY CHARACTERISTICS |
|---|---|
| Strong + High Fatigue Resistance | |
| Carbon-Filled With Highest Flexural Strength + Highest Stiffness-To-Weight Ratio | |
| Nylon 6 | Strong (Impact) + Tough (High Fatigue Resistance) |
