Material info
About MJF Plastic PA12 Glass Beads
PA 12 Glass Beads is a Multi Jet Fusion nylon plastic infused with glass beads that improve 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 Glass Beads is great for flat and large parts that are prone to warping in Versatile Plastic and MJF PA12 Plastic and for functional parts that require high strength and dimensional accuracy.

Design Guidelines
Bounding Box
Bounding Box Max
284 x 380 x 380 mm
Note: Parts covering the exact maximum bounding box dimensions might not be printable due to printer limitations.
Bounding Box Min
4 x 4 x 1 mm or X + Y + Z > 9 mm
The bounding box is a 3D imaginary outline of a box that encloses the smallest area occupied by your model. Your model must be within the minimum and maximum bounding box sizes. If the size of the model is close to the maximum bounding box, then the printing orientation will be restricted.
Walls

Unsupported Wall Thickness Min

Details
Details Min Embossed
0.5 mm high & wide
Details Min Engraved
0.5 mm high & wide
Escape Holes
Single Escape Hole Diameter (Min)
4.0 mm
Multiple Escape Hole Diameter (Min)
2.0 mm
A single escape hole at the end of a cavity will not allow material in the corners near the escape hole to fully escape. So we recommend multiple escape holes at both ends of the cavity.
Clearance
Min
0.6 mm
Sprues
2 mm thick, attached in at least 2 places per part
Sprues are wires that keep two or more parts together. Parts should be connected with a minimum of two sprues each. Please consider the size of your sprues and increase them as needed as minimum guidelines will not always be adequate for large models. If the sprues are within the guidelines and are broken, but there is no damage to your model, we will still ship them as is.

Accuracy
Accuracy
± 0.2 mm ± 0.5% of the length
For example: a product with dimensions of 50 x 50 x 100 mm can be 0.2 mm + 0.005*100 mm = 0.7 mm bigger or smaller in any direction.
