Description
3DXSTAT™ ESD PA12 is made using a specialty Nylon 12 (PA12) and CNT
matrix that we chose for it’s printability, thermal properties, and
chemical resistance. ESD PA12 is widely used in a variety of industries
due to its excellent chemical resistance, low moisture absorption, and
wide processing window. Our formulation ensures very low shrinkage in
the printed part resulting in excellent dimensional stability, making
our ESD PA12 an excellent choice for tools, fixtures, and jigs.

Abrasive Material
This material is particularly abrasive among 3D printing filaments. Users may find standard brass nozzles are chewed through very quickly compared to standard wear and tear. When worn through, the nozzle diameter will widen inconsistently and the printer will experience extrusion issues.
Because of this, it's strongly recommended this material be printed through a hardened steel nozzle rather than a softer metal. Hardened steel nozzles can often be inexpensive and easily installed depending on your printer manufacturer's instructions.

What Is It?
DescriptionFibers made of glass reinforced into the polymer during manufacturing and aligned along the axis of filament.
This, along with their physical makeup, give this material enormous strength and mechanical properties.

What Does It Do?
Glass fiber reinforcement gives material a lot of desirable properties:
High strength
High stiffness
High chemical resistance
Low thermal expansion
