PolyMide™ CoPA is a copolymer of Nylon 6 and Nylon 6.6 combining high tensile strength properties from Nylon 6 with heat resistance properties from Nylon 6.6. Warp- Free™ technology provides ease of printing by slowing down the crystallization allowing CoPA to be easily printed on open bed printers. Displaying outstanding mechanical and thermal properties, CoPA is suited for parts in demanding environments.
Recommended Printing Conditions
Direct Drive:
Indirect Drive:
Drying Settings: 80˚C for 8h
(Only if the material has absorbed moisture)
Annealing: 80˚C for 6h
Note:
- Abrasion of the brass nozzle happens quite often when printing PolyMide™ CoPA. A wear-resistant nozzle, such as hardened steel and ruby nozzle, is highly recommended to be used with PolyMide™ CoPA.
- PolyMide™ CoPA is sensitive to moisture and should always be stored and used under dry conditions (relative humidity below 20%).
- If PolyMide™ CoPA is used as the support material for itself, please remove the support structure before excessive moisture absorption. Otherwise the support structure can be permanently bonded to the model.
- After the printing process, it is recommended to anneal the model in the oven at 80°C for 6 hours.
