Production-grade nylon from HP Multi Jet Fusion — dense, tough and consistent at volume.
HP's Multi Jet Fusion PA12 is a workhorse production nylon: no support structures, near-isotropic mechanicals and an excellent cost-per-part at batch volume. Parts come out grey and are typically dyed black. It is tough, chemically resistant and dimensionally consistent across a full build.
MJF nylon PA12 is a true end-use production material. It is used for clips, ducting, housings, complex assemblies and enclosures — the sort of durable black plastic parts found inside consumer and industrial products.
Clean, consistent matte grey off the machine; dyes black evenly and can be chemically smoothed.
Available grey as-printed or dyed black, per process.
Lead times are indicative and start from order confirmation. Actual turnaround varies model by model, depending on part geometry, print time, quantity and shipping location. Express service incurs an additional charge. Express availability is subject to current machine capacity — please confirm when ordering.

Parts printed in HP Nylon PA12 in MJF can be finished a number of ways at KAD3D, from a clean functional surface to a fully painted, display-ready result. The treatments below are the ones we most often apply to this material.
Most popular finish: Bead-blast and dye black for the standard production finish.
To make material costs easy to compare, KAD3D prints the same standard model — the #3DBenchy — in every material. The price shown is what that identical benchmark part costs in HP Nylon PA12, so you can weigh materials against each other on a genuine like-for-like basis before uploading your own file.
Benchmark price is a guide for comparison only; your part is quoted on its own size, geometry and finishing. Upload your model for an exact price.
These prices were taken on 1 July 2026 and are still in place.
Bridge production, connectors, housings, ducting and brackets, from one to thousands of parts.
Well suited to mining-duty and automotive components for operations across Western Australia and Queensland, where its toughness, chemical resistance and low cost-per-part at volume make short production runs viable without tooling.
Behaves close to injection-moulded nylon without the tooling.
