Dyeing
Color result
Black dye finish
Best for
Adding a uniform black finish to Nylon 12 (White) parts where functional prototype testing requires consistent color.
Note
Confirm dye penetration, color consistency, and dimensional change on Nylon 12 (White) before production.
Painting
Finish options
Glossy and matte paint finishes available
Best for
Adding custom color and a protective paint layer to Nylon 12 (White) parts for functional prototype testing.
Note
Validate paint adhesion, masking boundaries, and coating coverage on Nylon 12 (White) before production, especially around interfaces, edges, and fine details.
Vapor Smoothing
Surface result
Chemically smoothed surfaces with reduced layer lines
Best for
Reducing visible layer lines on Nylon 12 (White) parts used for functional prototype testing and appearance-critical prototypes.
Note
Confirm material compatibility, feature retention, and dimensional impact on Nylon 12 (White) before vapor smoothing.
Sand Blasting
Surface result
Uniform matte texture
Best for
Creating a uniform matte texture on Nylon 12 (White) parts used for functional prototype testing and display or functional prototypes.
Note
Confirm masking and feature retention on Nylon 12 (White); abrasive blasting can change texture and soften fine details.

Nylon 12 Glass-filled (Off White)
SLS · Off White
Nylon 12 glass filled (off-white) surface is white, slightly grainy and porous. Nylon glass filling is more durable and resistant than nylon PA12. It gives you great freedom in design - you can design complex volumes or realize enclosed spaces. This material is ideal for technical components requiring resistance and load. The surface accuracy is not as good as polyamide 12, but it meets the needs of technical parts.
SLS · Nylons
Nylon 11 (White)
SLS · White
Nylon PA11 is a bio-based polyamide that is more ductile and impact-resistant than PA12, and has excellent ductility. It excels at those parts that must flex, absorb shock, or withstand repeated stress—living hinges, snaps, and durable functional parts
SLS · Nylons
Nylon 12 Pro (Black)
SLS · Black
Black nylon 12 Pro is based on Evonik basic material improvements and matches optimized printing parameters. With white nylon 12 as the core, this material has better detail expression and toughness. Even small holes and tiny features of 0.4-0.6mm can be printed clearly while maintaining stable dimensional accuracy. Recommended for small batch production, available in native black, and can also be spray painted in various colors upon request.
