By adding Ultrasint PA6 Series, XYZprinting is xpanding its presence in the professional market and introducing materials that will satisfy professionals and businesses that are leveraging SLS 3D printing for prototyping and end-use serial part production.

Known for its strong mechanical properties, PA6 has long been a stable material for commercial endeavors of all sorts, from automotive to fluid reservoirs as well as high-temperature applications.

PA6 combines superior thermal resistance with high isotropic rigidity thanks to in-particle filler technology. It has proven high modulus, high strength, and excellent thermal distortion stability.

This PA6 material is useful for several applications, ideal for producing the following:

• Serial part production
• Engine compartment parts
• Jigs & Fixtures
• Piping and media flow/storage parts
• Fluid reservoirs
• Multi-purpose industrial goods

The expansion of SLS materials showcases XYZprinting’s dedication to making commercial 3D printing more accessible and affordable for pro users and small businesses.
