XYZ Printing announced today that PAx Natural, Nylon Copolymer is now available for use on the MfgPro236 SLS. PAx Natural offers similar properties to injection molding and features high impact resistance as well as high elongation at break in any direction, including Z. Engineered for high recyclability and easy processing, DuraForm PAx Natural is perfect for functional prototyping and end-use models with long-term stability.
Key Advantages:
- Insane mechanical toughness 282% Elongation to break!
- Water tight after vapor smoothing
- Long-term stability when exposed to UV and humidity
- Biocompatibility Approved = ISO 10993-5, Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 5: Tests for in vitro cytotoxicity.
