PA-12 GB
Stiff, dimensionally stable, quality parts
HP 3D High Reusability PA 12 Glass Beads is a nylon plastic material infused with glass beads, improving product stiffness and structural integrity. This material is 40% glass-filled which reduces warping during the printing process and over the product’s life. PA12 GB is great for flat and large parts that are prone to warping and for functional parts that require high strength and dimensional accuracy.
