Full Color Nylon 12 – 3D Printing Material
Material Info
About
Full Color Nylon 12 (MJF) is HP’s 3D High Reusability CB PA12 with excellent mechanical properties and a slightly grainy finish. Using a full color model, it is also available in a smooth finish, with a slightly glossy finish that helps make the color more vibrant. Full Color Nylon 12 (MJF) is an ideal choice for a wide range of applications from industrial parts to durable end-use goods. Its strength and durability make it great for functional parts, such structural parts and mounts. Full Color Nylon 12 (MJF) is printed using HP’s Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) technology and supports very complex geometries and thin features.
Note that Black or dark colors will not appear as rendered due to technology limitations.
Color & Finishes
This finish has a slightly rough surface and a matte finish
This finish has a smooth surface and slight shine, created using a physio-chemical process to vapor smooth the surface

Description
Design Guidelines
Bounding Box
Maximum Bounding Box
185 x 105 x 139 mm
Minimum Bounding Box
4 x 4 x 1 mm or X + Y + Z > 9 mm (Natural)
10 x 10 x 10 mm (Smooth)
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
1.5 mm (Smooth)
0.5 mm (Natural)
1.5 mm (Smooth)
A supported wall is connected at least on two sides of the wall, while an unsupported wall is connected only on one side of the wall. Walls that do not meet the minimum requirements may not survive printing and cleaning processes. Additionally, models may still be rejected based on the wall geometry of the model. Please consider the size of your model and reinforce the walls or add support structures as needed as minimum guidelines will not always be adequate for large models.
Wires
0.8 mm (Natural)
1.5 mm (Smooth)
0.9 mm (Natural)
1.5 mm (Smooth)
A wire is a circular, rectangular or even triangular feature that is thinner in its unconnected directions than its length. A supported wire is connected at least on two sides of the model, while an unsupported wire is connected on one side of the model. Wires that do not meet the minimum requirements may not survive printing and cleaning processes. Additionally, models may still be rejected based on the wire geometry of the model. Please consider the size of your model and reinforce the wires or add support structures as needed as minimum guidelines will not always be adequate for large models.
Details
0.2 mm high & wide (Natural)
0.3 mm high & 0.5 mm wide (Smooth)
(0.4 mm high & wide for readable text, logos, and icons)
0.2 mm deep & wide (Natural)
0.3 mm deep & 0.4 mm wide (Smooth)
(0.4 mm high & wide for readable text, logos, and icons)
For text, the ratio between width and depth, should be 1:1 and sans-serif fonts are preferred for line weight consistency.
Escape Holes
4.0 mm (Natural)
10 mm (Smooth)
2.0 mm (Natural)
8.0 mm (Smooth)
Escape holes are necessary to empty the support material of a hollow model. Two escape holes at the opposite ends of the model is optimal for the support removal process. Please consider the size of your model and make the escape holes bigger or add more escape holes as needed as minimum guidelines will not always be adequate for large models.
Clearance
0.6 mm (Natural)
5.0 mm (Smooth)
Clearance is the space between two individual parts in a model. If the space among the individual parts do not meet the minimum clearance, then parts can fuse together or can be difficult to clean. This is important for movable pieces like hinges, gears, etc.
Sprues
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.
