With the advent of particle 3D printing technology, the range of available materials has also been improved synchronously, such as PA, PLA, PC, PETG, TPU and other thermoplastic materials have been included in the scope of 3D printing. Today, we mainly introduce the testing and parameter requirements of nylon PA6 printed by pellet 3D printer. Nylon 6, also known as PA6, polyamide 6 and nylon 6, is a polymer compound. Nylon 6 has a low melting point and a wide process temperature range. It has good impact resistance and dissolution resistance. Of course, it has stronger moisture absorption. If it is used for printing, we can add some glass fibers to improve its performance. The following are the test parameters and models provided by the R & D team of Piocreat.
