  • PA-Like

    Process: SLS or MJF

    Durability, Temperature Resistant

    Nylon is a high-performance engineering polymer with well-balanced properties. It offers high strength, excellent toughness, and outstanding wear resistance, along with superior chemical resistance and thermal stability, ensuring reliable performance even under demanding conditions. Thanks to its lightweight and high reliability, nylon materials are widely used in automotive, medical, aerospace, and consumer products, making them an ideal choice for applications requiring both functionality and durability.

  • Inconel 718 metal powder for 3D printing

    Inconel 718

    Process: SLM

    Fatigue Resistant, Temperature Resistance, Corrosion Resistance, Strength

    Inconel 718 is known for its outstanding high-temperature strength, creep resistance, and corrosion resistance. The material can withstand operating temperatures above 700°C while maintaining excellent fatigue and fracture resistance. Through additive manufacturing, GH4169 can produce parts with complex geometries and is widely used in aerospace engines, gas turbines, high-temperature molds, and high-performance industrial components.
    Disadvantages: High cost; complex heat treatment process; thin-walled structures require careful design; default surface roughness Ra10–12.
