Material properties may
vary with part geometry,
print orientation and
temperature

Parts were printed using Fuse
1 with Nylon 12 Powder. Parts
were conditioned at 50%
relative humidity and 23 °C
for 7 days before testing.

Material properties may vary based
on part design and manufacturing
practices. It is the manufacturer’s
responsibility to validate the
suitability of the printed parts for
the intended use
