How much tightening torque can nylon withstand?
【Mitarepo】Inserted a helicoil into nylon parts made by the powder sintering 3D printer "Fuse1"! We tested how much torque it can withstand!
"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products under the concept of "I tried doing this!" We deliver useful information each time from the wide range of product categories handled by System Create. The theme of Vol. 31 is "Inserting Helicoils into Nylon for Powder Sintering 3D Printer Materials! How much torque can it withstand?" We conducted tests on a model created with a powder sintering 3D printer to see how much torque it can withstand when tightened after tapping. In the materials, we created a cube with pilot holes using the powder material "Nylon 12" from the powder sintering 3D printer "Fuse 1." We prepared three types of screw holes, including those for inserting Helicoils, and tested how much torque it can withstand while tightening. "Isn't it likely that the printed product won't withstand the torque needed for assembly?" "I'd like to see if it can be assembled by tightening with screws!" We will explain the "actual strength" that is a concern in producing models that require strength, along with photos of the testing process and results, as well as comments from the technical staff. *You can download the materials from the button below.
