Nylon filament is trusted when you need 3D prints that can bend without breaking, absorb impact, and last through real use.
At Siraya Tech, we bring you nylon blends engineered for strength, toughness, and smooth extrusion, so your designs don’t just look good, they work in everyday life.
From functional prototypes to custom tools, this collection gives you professional results that are hard to match.
Nylon Filament for Prints That Bend and Stay Strong
Nylon filament is known for combining flexibility with durability. That means you can print parts that move, flex, and still hold their strength.
Toughness You Can Rely on
It doesn’t snap under stress, making it perfect for parts that face constant movement or pressure.
- High impact resistance for demanding projects
- Long-lasting mechanical strength
- Ideal for both hobby and industrial use
Smooth Extrusion That Keeps Detail Sharp
Printing nylon can be tricky, but our blends make the process smoother with steady flow and stable layers.
A Finish That Looks Clean
Even with its strength, nylon delivers precision and detail that are visible.
- Reduced warping with proper setup
- Clean layer adhesion for polished results
- Consistent feeding for reliable printing
Handles Heat and Wear With Ease
Nylon filament goes beyond simple plastic prints. It resists heat, wear, and friction, making it ideal for functional parts.
Designed for Tough Environments
Whether in mechanical builds or daily-use items, nylon performs where weaker filaments give up.
- Better resistance to abrasion
- Higher temperature tolerance
- Great for gears, robotics, and functional end-use parts
Versatile and Easy to Customize
Nylon filament gives you more freedom in finishing and design. You can dye it, polish it, or use it straight off the bed.
Make prints your own
With its versatility, nylon adapts to both visual and functional needs.
- Can be dyed for color flexibility
- Smooth finish right from printing
- Compatible with advanced blends like carbon fiber-filled options

FAQs About Nylon Filament
What is nylon filament for?
Nylon filament is used in 3D printing to make strong, durable, and flexible parts. It is often chosen for mechanical pieces like gears, hinges, and tool handles because it resists wear and impact. Nylon is also suitable for parts that need to bend slightly without breaking. Its strength and toughness make it a top choice for functional and long-lasting prints.
Is nylon, PLA, or ABS?
Nylon is not PLA or ABS. It is its own type of 3D printing filament made from polyamide. Unlike PLA, which is easy to print, or ABS, which is strong and heat-resistant, nylon offers a mix of high strength, durability, and flexibility. It is often used when parts need to handle wear and stress.
What is stronger, ABS or nylon?
Nylon is generally stronger than ABS because it has higher tensile strength and better impact resistance. It can handle heavy loads and repeated stress without breaking. ABS is durable and tough, but nylon is more resistant to friction and wear. This makes nylon the better choice for functional or moving parts.
Does nylon filament smell?
Nylon filament does produce an odor when printing, but it is usually mild compared to ABS. The smell is not sweet like PLA but more like a faint burnt or chemical scent. Good ventilation is recommended to avoid discomfort during long prints. Using an enclosure or air filter can also help reduce the odor.
How strong is nylon filament?
Nylon filament is very strong and known for its high tensile strength. It can handle heavy loads and resist breaking under stress. It is also resistant to friction, making it good for gears, hinges, and mechanical parts. This strength makes nylon one of the top choices for functional 3D prints.
