Nylon 12 [PA12 (SLS)]
Nylon 12 [PA12 (SLS)] is a durable nylon plastic that can be used for a wide range of applications, both for prototyping and for end products. Printed using Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D printing services, when thin, it's flexible enough for hinges and springs and when thick, strong enough for structural components. Material Details
![Shapeways' 3D printing services ensures high quality accura 60 materials](https://www.shapeways.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/accura60-2x-0-e1651264287122.jpg)
Accura 60
Accura 60 is a translucent and rigid acrylate-based plastic. Shapeways 3D prints this material using a large-format Stereolithography (SLA) printer capable of producing small to large parts with high resolution and detail as well as smooth surfaces with limited layer lines. Material Details

Testimonials
I like the ease of use in the Shapeways platform, being able to 3D print on-demand orders for the first time, and most of all–being able to scale my business. In the beginning years ago I basically had the change in my pocket and a credit line at my bank so I couldn’t order a ton of things, and you never know what’s going to sell.”
![testimonial logo](https://www.shapeways.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/testimonials-voytek-2x.jpg)
During the process, we used Shapeways capabilities to 3D print many prototypes. That meant we had the option to iterate very quickly, print objects, and test them to see if they were working correctly in terms of complexity, or too much complexity.”
![testimonial logo](https://www.shapeways.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/testimonials-FlamingoWorks-2x.jpg)
Shapeways was really great when we worked together before, which led us to reach out again. It’s been so helpful to talk with them about what we could do in every aspect of 3D printing and finishing, and it saved us a lot of time in experimentation.”
