Basic Capabilities/Dimensions/Finishes
- Maximum part size: ~155mm (X and Y) ~290mm (Z)
- Resolution: ~0.1mm (X, Y, Z)
- Material: 100% PA12 nylon
- Finish: Raw ("nekkid") nylon. For flat surfaces, we may be able to do color/artwork on a case-by-case basis for an extra charge. You may also use plastic paints, Cerakote, or even metal plating after you receive it
Recommended Design Parameters
- Minimum Pin Diameter: 1.0mm
- Minimum Hole Diameter: 1.0mm

- Minimum Embossing Features:
0.35mm depth (non-text)
0.4mm width (non-text)
4.5mm text font height
0.3mm text font depth - Minimum Engraved Features:
0.15mm depth (non-text)
0.35mm width (non-text)
3mm text font height
0.3mm text font depth - Assembly clearances:
For parts printed separately -- 0.4mm
For parts printed asssembled -- 0.6mm - Escape holes:
For hollow features, a minimum of 2 escape holes of at least 3.5mm diameter is required to remove excess material.
Design Tips
- Where possible, maintain uniform wall thickness. Significantly heterogenous wall thicknesses can cause warping during the cooling and finishing process.
- Reduce stress concentrations in features by using fillets/chamfers where possible. Even radii as small as 0.5-1.0mm can help significantly.
- Keep aspect ratios reasonable. High aspect parts can warp during cooling and finishing. Where necessary, using ribs and lofts can assist with maintaing shape on high aspect features.
- Lattices can be helpful for reducing mass and cost. Be sure to leave gaps of at least 8.0mm in lattice structures to ensure adequate post-print processing.
