Is 3D printing suitable for producing functional parts?

Gone are the days when 3D printing was only for fragile "looks-like" prototypes. Today, it is a robust manufacturing method for functional end-use parts.
We use HP Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) technology which produces parts in high-grade Nylon (PA12). These parts exhibit:
- High Tensile Strength: Comparable to injection-molded plastics.
- Isotropic Properties: Uniform strength in X, Y, and Z directions.
- Thermal Resistance: Suitable for high-temperature environments.
- Chemical Resistance: Resistant to oils, greases, and alkaloids.
This makes them perfect for mechatronics components, automotive brackets, robotic grippers, and electronic housings that need to perform under stress in the real world.
"Strong, durable, and ready for work. Our functional 3D printed parts bridge the gap between prototyping and mass production."
