OzFDM PA12 Nylon 3D printing filament is a high performance engineering material designed for demanding functional and industrial applications. PA12 is known for its excellent toughness, impact resistance, and low moisture absorption compared to traditional nylons, which helps it deliver strong, durable parts with outstanding dimensional stability and chemical resistance.

This filament is ideal for manufacturing functional prototypes, mechanical components, tooling, brackets, and end use parts that require long term reliability under stress. OzFDM PA12 Nylon offers smooth extrusion, strong layer adhesion, and dependable print consistency when printed with the appropriate setup. Manufactured under strict QA standards, this material provides a professional grade printing experience for advanced makers, engineers, and industrial users alike.

OzFDM PA12 Nylon is a durable engineering filament designed for strong, flexible and reliable functional parts. It combines excellent impact resistance with natural flexibility, allowing printed components to absorb stress and movement without becoming excessively brittle.

Its strong resistance to wear makes it ideal for gears, clips, bushings, brackets, protective housings, mechanical components and working prototypes. PA12 Nylon also offers good resistance to oils, fuels, greases and many common chemicals, making it suitable for demanding workshop, automotive and industrial applications.

Compared with PA6, PA12 absorbs less moisture and maintains greater dimensional stability in changing conditions. However, it should still be kept dry and stored correctly to achieve smooth extrusion, strong layer bonding and consistent print quality.

Two Essential Shades

PA12 Nylon Colour Range

The OzFDM PA12 Nylon range is available in two versatile shades, Black and White.

Black provides a clean, professional appearance suited to mechanical components, engineering prototypes and industrial parts. White offers a bright, neutral finish that makes surface details easy to inspect and provides an ideal base for functional models, custom finishing and technical applications.

Both shades provide the same reliable PA12 Nylon performance, allowing you to choose the finish that best suits your project.

Smart System Ready

AMS Compatibility and Moisture Control

PA12 Nylon can be used with standard AMS systems that support PA materials, provided the spool fits correctly and the filament remains dry. Always confirm compatibility with your specific printer, AMS model and spool requirements before printing.

Because nylon is sensitive to moisture, dry the filament at 80°C for a minimum of 12 hours in a filament dryer or food dehydrator before use, then store it with fresh desiccant. A sealed AMS can help protect the spool during printing, although feeding directly from a dry box may provide greater consistency for long or demanding engineering prints.

For the best results, use stable printer temperatures, reliable bed adhesion and an enclosed printing environment where recommended by your printer and filament settings.

Strength, Stability and Long Term Reliability

Made for Demanding Functional Parts

Flexible Strength for Functional Components

PA12 Nylon offers an excellent combination of toughness, flexibility and impact resistance.

Rather than behaving like a rigid and brittle material, it can absorb movement, vibration and sudden force while maintaining its structural integrity.

This makes it well suited to clips, brackets, protective housings, snap fit components and mechanical parts that experience repeated handling or movement.

Its natural flexibility also allows thin sections to bend under pressure and recover more effectively than many standard printing materials.

Improved Stability Among Nylon Materials

PA12 absorbs less moisture than many other nylon materials, including PA6.

This helps printed parts maintain more consistent dimensions and mechanical performance when exposed to changing humidity.

Its lower moisture sensitivity also makes PA12 easier to handle and store than more absorbent nylon materials.

However, drying before printing is still recommended, as absorbed moisture can cause bubbling, stringing, rough surfaces and reduced layer strength.

Designed for Moving and Working Parts

PA12 Nylon provides excellent resistance to abrasion, friction and repeated mechanical contact.

This makes it an effective material for gears, bushings, guides, hinges, fixtures and components that must withstand regular movement.

It also offers resistance to many oils, greases, fuels and common chemicals, making it suitable for workshop, automotive and industrial environments.

The result is a dependable engineering filament designed for parts that need to remain functional over extended use.
