PA11 nylon
Strong, flexible production parts with an excellent surface finish. High impact resistance and elongation at break make it the choice for snap fits, prostheses, insoles, sports goods or living hinges.

It bends and comes back
PA11 is tensile, durable and highly impact resistant, with a high elongation at break. That is what makes it right for parts that flex in use rather than parts that only have to be stiff.
Like PA12 it prints thousands of parts in one twelve hour build with no support structures. It has isotropic properties in X, Y and Z. Its temperature and chemical resistance are excellent.
