MJF PA12CB — HP Black Nylon
High-volume HP MJF nylon with consistent mechanical properties and black finish.
HP Multi Jet Fusion PA12CB (Carbon Black) is the standard MJF production material. It delivers near-isotropic mechanical properties, excellent repeatability across large batches, and a consistently dark grey / black surface finish. Compared to SLS PA12, MJF PA12CB typically has slightly higher tensile strength and better surface density. It excels at high-volume production runs where consistent properties and competitive part costs are paramount.
