SANSIL 3D
Material
PA6-GF — Glass-fibre reinforced polyamide 6
The nylon that bends before it breaks: PA6 toughness at a contained price.
Use it for
- Parts that take repeated impacts without cracking
- Gears and transmission parts under moderate torque
- Fixings that must absorb stress rather than transmit it
What it will not do
- Three times the price of PETG: only worth it if the load demands it
- Matt, slightly rough surface — not a cosmetic material
- Black only

Names are the manufacturer's own and serve as the ordering reference. The colour runs through the material, it is not painted on — swatches are indicative, a physical sample prevails.
