Best Materials for MJF Printing​

May 09, 2025

In this video, we dive into why PA12 (polyamide 12) is the go-to material for Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) 3D printing. We cover everything from its excellent strength properties—especially along the traditionally weak Z-axis—to its durability, recyclability, and wide range of applications.

🔹 Isotropic Strength: Thanks to angled printing, MJF enhances Z-axis strength for a more robust final part.

🔹 Material Versatility: PA12 offers great mechanical properties, UV resistance, and dimensional stability.

🔹 Design Freedom: Leverage features like lattice structures, variable wall thicknesses, and integrated assemblies.

🔹 Environmental Performance: Tested under extreme conditions, including 2km below sea level.

🔹 Sustainability: Our MJF prints use a 75% recycled to 25% new powder ratio. We also offer PA11, a plant-based alternative.

🔹 Additive vs Subtractive: MJF minimizes waste by using only the material needed—perfect for efficient, eco-conscious production.

Whether you're in automotive, marine, or consumer product design, PA12 is a material that delivers on both performance and flexibility. Learn how to get the most out of your next print with MJF technology.
