SLS · Glass-Filled Polyamide
PA12-GF Glass-Filled
Glass-bead-filled Nylon 12 · PA3200-GF-class
Glass-bead-reinforced PA12 — stiffer, harder and more heat-resistant than unfilled nylon. For load-bearing brackets, housings and jigs that must hold their shape.

Material overview
PA12-GF is nylon 12 reinforced with glass beads for markedly higher stiffness, hardness, dimensional stability and heat resistance — at the cost of some ductility. It prints support-free like PA12 with a matte grey speckled surface, and is the go-to for load-bearing brackets, housings, jigs and parts that see elevated temperature or wear.
Highlights
- Modulus ~3200 MPa — about 2× PA12
- Higher HDT & wear resistance
- Excellent dimensional stability
- No supports — complex geometry free
