BigRep PA6/66
An excellent choice for industrial applications, BigRep PA6/66 is strong, durable, and lightweight with high resistance to heat and chemicals.
Description
BigRep's PA6/66 is a light-weight thermoplastic material with high rigidity, and a high resistance to heat and chemicals. Its high compatibility with machining and mechanical strength makes it an excellent candidate for most industrial applications, especially in the automotive and aerospace sectors.
Functionally similar to Nylon PA6, a common material for injection molding, PA6/66 is ideal for printing end-use parts or prototyping with nearly identical material properties to final, mass produced parts. The material's durability and production scalability make it the choice for not just industrial transportation applications, but also developing product electrical housing, cooling and heating systems, as well as molds and vacuum forming.
Prototyping with PA6/66 in full-scale with the same material properties as a final product can present substantial shortcuts in the product development cycle, circumventing frequent late stage iteration problems and dodging related exorbitant expenses.
Highlights
- High Heat Deflection Temperature
- Good Chemical Resistance
- High Mechanical Strength
- Low-Weight Products
- Easily Machined
