MJF Nylon 12 Glass Bead
MJF nylon 12 glass bead reinforcement is a high-performance material designed for the production of highly durable, functional parts. The material contains 40% glass beads (Glass Beads), which provides excellent rigidity, dimensional stability and repeatability (consistency). It is an ideal choice for applications requiring high rigidity such as casings, chassis, fixtures and tools.

Dyeing
Color result
Black dye finish
Best for
Adding a uniform black finish to MJF Nylon 12 Glass Bead parts where functional prototype testing requires consistent color.
Note
Confirm dye penetration, color consistency, and dimensional change on MJF Nylon 12 Glass Bead before production.
Painting
Finish options
Glossy and matte paint finishes available
Best for
Adding custom color and a protective paint layer to MJF Nylon 12 Glass Bead parts for functional prototype testing.
Note
Validate paint adhesion, masking boundaries, and coating coverage on MJF Nylon 12 Glass Bead before production, especially around interfaces, edges, and fine details.
Vapor Smoothing
Surface result
Chemically smoothed surfaces with reduced layer lines
Best for
Reducing visible layer lines on MJF Nylon 12 Glass Bead parts used for functional prototype testing and appearance-critical prototypes.
Note
Confirm material compatibility, feature retention, and dimensional impact on MJF Nylon 12 Glass Bead before vapor smoothing.
Sand Blasting
Surface result
Uniform matte texture
Best for
Creating a uniform matte texture on MJF Nylon 12 Glass Bead parts used for functional prototype testing and display or functional prototypes.
Note
Confirm masking and feature retention on MJF Nylon 12 Glass Bead; abrasive blasting can change texture and soften fine details.

Nylon 12 Glass Filled (Black) has a black surface that is slightly grainy and porous. Nylon glass filling is more durable and resistant than nylon PA12. It gives you great freedom in design - both complex and enclosed volumes. This material is ideal for technical components requiring resistance and load. The surface accuracy is not as good as polyamide 12, but it meets the needs of technical parts.
