Nylon CG:
A High Strength to Weight LS Composite
 

 

Dear ,

      

In our ongoing quest to provide you the most cutting-edge rapid prototyping and direct additive manufacturing solutions, Harvest Technologies has added yet another high performance laser sintering (LS) material.  Nylon CG is a unique carbon fiber and glass filled nylon 12 composite that is very stiff and strong, yet light weight.  It remains rigid under moderately elevated temperatures, and though it is very hard and rigid by LS plastic standards, it is tougher than comparable glass filled materials.

 

Having a high strength-to-weight ratio makes Nylon CG ideal for producing durable end-use parts for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), manned rotorcraft & fixed wing aircraft, motorsports vehicles, industrial machinery, and other specialty products.  Additionally its dark gray appearance is visually appealing, making it well suited to some aesthetic applications.

 

Potential uses and functionality include: 

 

 

-          Ducts, conduit & fairings

-          Impellers, rotors & stators

-          Mounts, harnesses & clips

-          Wind tunnel models

-          Grips, gears & grommets

-          Tooling fixtures & jigs

-          Enclosures, covers & housings

-          Show models & works of art
