Polylactic acid, also known as PLA, is a thermoplastic monomer derived from renewable, organic sources such as corn starch or sugar cane. Using biomass resources makes PLA production different from most plastics, which are produced using fossil fuels through the distillation and polymerization of petroleum.

PA12, also known as Nylon 12, is a versatile and widely used thermoplastic material with a range of applications across various industries. It belongs to the polyamide (PA) family of plastics and is known for its exceptional properties. Here's a detailed description of PA12 Nylon:

Chemical Composition: PA12 is a synthetic polymer made from the polymerization of laurolactam monomers. Its molecular structure consists of a repeating unit of amide groups, which gives it its characteristic properties.

Physical Properties:

1. High Strength: PA12 Nylon is renowned for its excellent tensile strength, making it a robust and durable material. It can withstand significant mechanical stresses and loads.

2. Flexibility: Despite its strength, PA12 Nylon is relatively flexible, allowing it to endure bending and twisting without breaking. This property makes it suitable for applications that require both strength and flexibility.

3. Low Friction: PA12 has a low coefficient of friction, making it an excellent choice for components that require smooth movement or sliding, such as bearings and gears.

4. Chemical Resistance: It exhibits good resistance to many chemicals, oils, and solvents, making it suitable for use in harsh environments.

5. Low Moisture Absorption: PA12 Nylon has relatively low moisture absorption compared to some other nylon materials. This property helps maintain its mechanical properties in humid conditions.

Thermal Properties:

1. High Melting Point: PA12 has a relatively high melting point, typically around 180-190°C (356-374°F), which allows it to maintain its structural integrity at elevated temperatures.

2. Thermal Stability: It exhibits good thermal stability, making it suitable for applications where it may be exposed to heat over extended periods.

Other Notable Properties:

1. Electrical Insulation: PA12 is an excellent electrical insulator, which makes it suitable for various electrical and electronic applications.

2. Lightweight: It has a low density, making it a lightweight material, which is advantageous in applications where weight is a consideration.

Applications:

PA12 Nylon is used in a wide range of applications, including:

1. Manufacturing: It's used for producing various industrial components, such as gears, bushings, rollers, and pulleys, due to its excellent mechanical properties.

2. Automotive: PA12 is found in automotive components like fuel lines, air intake manifolds, and cable sheathing, thanks to its durability and resistance to automotive fluids.

3. Medical: It's used in medical devices and equipment because of its biocompatibility and resistance to sterilization methods.

4. Consumer Goods: PA12 is used in the production of everyday items like sports equipment, zippers, and luggage due to its strength and flexibility.

5. Aerospace: In aerospace applications, PA12 is used for lightweight structural components and parts that require high strength.

6. 3D Printing: PA12 is a popular material for 3D printing, particularly in selective laser sintering (SLS) and Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) technologies, where it can create durable and functional prototypes and end-use parts.

Properties of Glass-Filled PA6

The incorporation of glass fibers into PA6 imparts a range of enhanced properties, making it suitable for more demanding applications. Some of the key properties include:

1. Increased Strength and Stiffness:

   • The tensile strength of glass-filled PA6 is significantly higher than that of unfilled PA6. For instance, 30% glass-filled PA6 can exhibit tensile strengths in the range of 150 MPa compared to approximately 80 MPa for unfilled PA6.
   • The stiffness, as measured by the modulus of elasticity, is also greatly improved. This makes glass-filled PA6 ideal for load-bearing applications.

2. Improved Dimensional Stability:

   • The addition of glass fibers reduces the material's tendency to deform under stress or with temperature fluctuations. This dimensional stability is crucial for precision components that must maintain tight tolerances.

3. Enhanced Thermal Properties:

   • Glass-filled PA6 has a higher heat deflection temperature (HDT) than unfilled PA6. This means it can withstand higher temperatures before deforming, making it suitable for applications involving elevated temperatures.

4. Reduced Creep:

   • Creep, the tendency of a material to deform permanently under continuous load, is significantly reduced in glass-filled PA6. This property is particularly important for components subjected to long-term loading.

5. Improved Wear Resistance:

   • The abrasion resistance of PA6 is enhanced with the addition of glass fibers, making it more suitable for applications involving friction and wear.

The ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate) is a thermoplastic that combines the mechanical robustness, the resistance to UV rays, the resistance to water with a great surface finish, which makes the filament ASA suitable to make final pieces in 3D for machinery or prototypes Durable for outdoor use in the open

Filaflex UltraSoft 70A is one of the most elastic and softest filaments on the market, reaching a 900% stretch until breaking. The Filaflex UltraSoft filament is a TPE filament (Thermoplastic Elastomer) with a polyurethane base and certain additives.

The Filaflex Ultrasoft 70A filament has an even higher elasticity and smoothness than the Filaflex 82A (Filaflex), with a Shore 70A hardness and an abrasion resistance of 45mm3, being one of the most elastic and soft filaments on the market. Like the Filaflex, the Filaflex Ultrasoft 70A is resistant to solvents, acetone and fuels, but with lower tensile strength and lower softening temperature. The Filaflex UltraSoft 70A has good bonding properties with other types of materials used in the field of 3D printing, such as PLA, ABS, HiPS and some Nylons, resulting in composite pieces with different properties and hardness. Thanks to all the qualities mentioned above, this material has an infinity of applications in all types of fields

FilaFlex UltraSoft is non-toxic, but not approved for medical or nutritional use. This material doesn't emit odors, is totally odorless and does not produce toxic gases. Due to its high elasticity, it is a complex material to use, since, in certain types of extruders, it's likely to wrap around the pinion of the extruder motor or directly bend the filament already before entering the HotEnd, something that occurs if a Bowden drive system is used. Therefore, this material is recommended only for advanced users and with 3D printers with the Recreus Extruder v3 extruder or with an extruder prepared to print elastic filaments (Should always be direct drive, never bowden). The "Recreus Extruder v3" is a direct-drive extruder extruder with high quality components created by the manufacturer of the Filaflex UltraSoft 70A, to be able to use this and other flexible materials without any problems and at high speeds compared to the rest of extruders on the market . Another extruder compatible with this material, but not recommended by the manufacturer, is the E3D Titan Aero.
