The Rise of Nylon in High-Stress Auto Components

Nylon (Polyamide) is a semi-crystalline plastic known for its incredible strength, flexibility, and wear resistance.

Cars have many moving plastic mechanisms: wiper gears, seat bushings, mirror folding mechanisms. When these parts fail, replacing them with 3D-printed nylon parts is ideal.

Benefits of Nylon:

• Low coefficient of friction: Perfect for gears.
• Wear resistance: Lasts for years even under daily load.
• High melting point: Withstands up to 120°C operating temperature.

FixPlast has the experience and specialized equipment (heated chambers) for high-quality printing of Nylon parts.
