PA 3200 GF is a polyamide-based (nylon) powder used in industrial 3D printing, particularly in Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) technology. This material is known for being filled with glass fibers (hence the “GF” in its name), which enhance its mechanical properties. PA 3200 GF is often chosen for applications that require high mechanical performance and thermal resistance, making it a popular choice in demanding industrial environments.
