White, Strong & Flexible
back to all materials 
White, Strong & Flexible
PA 2200, Selective-Laser-Sintered (SLS)This is the strongest nylon material that we have and it has a good heat resistance. The most interesting thing is that you can use the material for living hinges and springs. There is also a volume discount on models with a volume greater than 20cm3 and density higher than 10%. After the first 20cm3, the remaining volume is calculated with a 50% discount.
Be aware that this is a porous material, so it will absorb miniscule polution particles in the air. Please keep in mind that your object will turn yellowish over time if you expose it to direct sunlight. SLS is not suitable for molding, using the model in White, Strong and Flexible as a lost pattern will leave rests after burning

Colors not available in large size (non-white colors are limited to 23x18x31 cm bounding box)

What does polished WSF feel like? Listen to what our beta testers are saying...
"With the new smooth finish, White Strong & Flexible material has the same feel as a molded plastic part. It doesn't feel like a 'prototype' anymore and the smooth surface stands up much better to daily use." -Jessica Rosenkrantz, Nervous System
"The quality exceeds my expectation! It feels the same as injection moulded nylon, like for example the plastic part of a car key...With this quality level it makes the product perfect for selling in a store... I am really enthusiastic about this new SLS treatment!"-- Gijs de Zwart, studiogijs
"The finish is silky smooth, and even gives glints of reflections! The surface feels almost as if the model has been injection molded...My wife has just has a feel of the polished SLS, she says, Ooo... they feel like Mentos!" -- Paul King, Stop4stuff
