nylon (FDM) — Properties & Data | MatWorld

nylon (FDM)

Nylon printed by fused deposition modeling is a polyamide thermoplastic extruded from filament through a heated nozzle and deposited layer by layer. Parts contain small voids between the bonded roads and are weaker across the layers than along them, with visible layer lines and support material needed under overhangs. Nylon warps and shrinks on cooling and absorbs moisture, so filament is dried before printing and parts change stiffness and dimensions as they take up water. Printed parts include jigs and fixtures, functional prototypes, gears, bushings and other tough, wear-resistant components, and industrial systems sometimes add continuous fiber reinforcement for stiffness.
