UltiMaker Nylon Transparent (NFC)

Ultimaker Nylon: high-performance polyamide

Ultimaker Nylon (polyamide) is a high-performance filament engineered for reliable 3D printing of strong and functional parts. Trusted by engineers and developers worldwide, Nylon is known for its excellent durability, impressive strength-to-weight ratio, and flexibility. With low friction and good chemical resistance, it is a versatile material for demanding mechanical applications.

Its ability to withstand significant mechanical stress makes it well suited for functional prototypes and end-use parts. When combined with the preconfigured material profiles in Ultimaker Cura, this filament enables a reliable and consistent 3D printing workflow.

This NFC-enabled spool features an integrated chip that communicates directly with your Ultimaker printer. The system automatically recognises the material properties and colour, ensuring the correct print settings are applied and minimising the risk of configuration errors.

Key benefits:

• Industrial-grade durability: High impact and wear resistance make it suitable for demanding mechanical environments.
• Low coefficient of friction: Ideal for moving parts such as hinges, gears, and bearings.
• Chemical resistance: Offers good resistance to alkalis and many organic chemicals.
• Reliable performance: Formulated for consistent printing within the Ultimaker ecosystem.
• Seamless integration: Designed to work smoothly with Ultimaker printers and Cura profiles for predictable results.

Applications:

Ideal for functional prototypes, customised industrial tooling, mechanical components, and end-use parts that require strength and durability.

Professional tips:

• Moisture control: Nylon is hygroscopic. For best results, store filament in a dry box or use the Ultimaker Material Station to minimise moisture absorption.
• Dual extrusion: For complex geometries, Ultimaker Nylon can be paired with Ultimaker PVA (water-soluble) or Breakaway support material.
