In August 2025, professional SLS 3D printing solution provider INTAMSYS unveiled its latest breakthrough material — Precimid1190Pro, a high-toughness copolyamide (PA) powder. With an impressive 280% elongation at break, this material is offering innovative solutions for medical rehabilitation devices, customized consumer products, and functional components — especially in applications that demand outstanding flexibility and durability.
Key Performance: Significant Toughness Enhancement
Precimid1190Pro is available in both black and white, with its primary advantage being the remarkable improvement in material toughness:
Ultra-High Elongation at Break (280%)
Compared to general PA12 (Precimid1172Pro), which has an elongation at break of 8%–17%, Precimid1190Pro achieves a dramatic leap to 280% — an over 2150% improvement. This allows the material to withstand extreme deformation before breaking, providing excellent impact resistance and resilience to repeated bending, significantly reducing the risk of brittle fracture.
High-Precision Printing & High Reusability
Despite its superior toughness, the material maintains the precision required for SLS printing, clearly reproducing intricate design details to ensure both functionality and visual quality. Its new powder refresh ratio is as low as 15%, offering excellent reusability. This not only reduces material costs and improves production efficiency but also minimizes waste, aligning with sustainable manufacturing goals.
Application Focus: Medical Rehabilitation & Wearable Comfort
Thanks to its outstanding flexibility and durability, Precimid1190Pro is an ideal solution for medical rehabilitation and customized wearable applications:
Custom Rehabilitation Braces
Ideal for wrist, palm, and ankle braces. Its toughness and reliability ensure consistent support throughout the patient’s recovery process, with minimal risk of deformation.
“Besides being custom-shaped according to the patient’s hand and wrist, the copolyamide 3D-printed splints can also undergo post-processing such as coloring, meeting patients’ needs for personalized appearance.”
Eyewear Frames
Precimid1190Pro provides significantly enhanced toughness for 3D-printed eyeglass frames, reducing the risk of breakage from accidental bending or drops, while enabling the production of lighter, stylish, and durable frames.
Yingpu Precimid1190 Pro, a high-toughness copolyamide powder, has achieved a breakthrough in flexibility with a key performance indicator of 280% elongation at break, overcoming the limitations of traditional 3D-printed nylon materials. This improvement significantly expands the performance boundaries for flexible applications, providing innovative solutions with higher reliability, durability, and design freedom for fields such as medical rehabilitation, personalized consumer products, and high-demand functional components.
