Nylon 12 [Versatile Plastic] is a strong polyamide relied on worldwide for industrial products. This material truly lives up to its name, setting it apart from other materials due to its ability to act flexible for thinner structures and moving mechanical parts, but also rugged and stiff for substantial, end-use parts in applications like jewelry, architectural designs and home decor, fixtures, and prosthetics.
Nylon 12 [Versatile Plastic] is also porous enough to allow for dyeing, with a wide range of colors available for parts and prototypes.
