PA — Polyamide (Nylon)
Nylon (polyamide) is an engineering thermoplastic with outstanding toughness, wear resistance, and fatigue strength. It absorbs moisture from the air which degrades print quality and mechanical properties, so filament must be dried before use. PA prints at high temperatures (240-270°C) in an enclosed chamber and is used for gears, bushings, functional prototypes, and load-bearing parts.
