Rigid or flexible? With PA12 nylon, it's not the material that decides. It's the design.
We can dial in wall thickness and geometry to produce durable, lightweight parts anywhere on that spectrum, from structural sections to zip ties and clips.

One material. A world of applications. Contact us to talk about your next part... https://www.adpm.nz/3d-blog/pa12-nylon-rigid-or-flexible-it-comes-down-to-the-design

Choosing the right material is one of the most important decisions in getting a product to market. Strength, flexibility, heat tolerance, finish — it all comes down to matching the polymer to what your product actually needs to do.

Our product development team works alongside you to get this right from the outset, so you're not guessing or reworking a production run down the line.

Our Materials. Choosing the right material is critical to getting the right result. At ADPM, we work with four carefully selected engineering-grade materials, each suited to different product applications, performance requirements and production environments. Rather than offering every material un

Great to see a test of the physical properties of MJF PA12 nylon. My guess was failure at 50kg (hollow) and 70kg (solid), but I was wrong. The material is stronger than I thought!

Some part designs simply can't be made with a mould tool. Ours had internal ducting that no tool could release from without damaging the part. Additive manufacturing solved it in a single process, with strong, functional clips built straight in that hold up over time. This is the kind of manufacturing challenge we love solving for Bay of Plenty and Waikato manufacturers.

Can't find the part you need anymore? We can often print it instead — accurately measured, rebuilt, and manufactured to fit. Read how the process works: https://www.adpm.nz/3d-blog/replacing-industrial-components-with-additive-manufacturing

Building specialist automotive parts? Additive manufacturing gives you the speed and flexibility to prototype, test, and refine before committing to a full production run.

We've worked extensively with motorsport and automotive businesses on exactly this kind of work — engineering-grade polymer parts, produced locally in Mt Maunganui.

Big or small, simple or seriously complex — if it's a manufacturing challenge, chances are we've tackled something like it before.

Our team supports product developers and manufacturers across a huge range of industries, from low volume runs through to intricate parts that need a smarter approach.

When a critical industrial part goes obsolete, the usual options are expensive, slow, or both. Additive manufacturing offers a third way: we measure the original component accurately, rebuild it digitally, and manufacture it in a polymer chosen for the job's specific demands — heat, chemicals, load, or wear. It's a process we've refined for manufacturers who can't afford downtime while they chase down a part that may not exist anymore.
