SustainableStrongDurableChemical resistant

HP® 3D HR PA 12 is an industrial-grade nylon powder designed for Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) 3D printing. It offers excellent strength, durability, and dimensional stability across complex geometries. The material delivers consistent mechanical properties, good chemical resistance, and wear performance, making it suitable for both functional prototypes and end-use parts. Common applications include housings, jigs and fixtures, automotive components, consumer products, and industrial tooling. Its versatility allows for parts that endure repeated handling or moderate mechanical loads.

Available finishes

Each finish can be combined with the available colors at checkout.

Standard

19 colors

Natural matte MJF finish, slightly rough, functional and ready for use or post-processing.

Electroplated

8 colors

Electroplating is a process where a thin layer of metal is applied to plastic surfaces to enhance durability, corrosion resistance, and electrical conductivity.

Polished

19 colors

A smooth, glossy surface achieved through mechanical tumbling, enhancing aesthetics and reducing surface roughness on MJF PA12 parts.

Shot Peened

19 colors

Shot peening improves both the aesthetic and functional durability of the models, making them smoother and more resilient.

Vapor Smoothed

19 colors

Vapor smoothing uses a vaporized solvent to partially melt and blend the outer layer of a 3D print, significantly reducing visible layer lines to create a more uniform, sealed finish.
