This arm armor component is manufactured using HP Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) additive manufacturing technology, with nylon PA12 (polyamide 12) as the primary material. MJF’s high-precision printing process ensures exceptional dimensional accuracy, smooth surface finishes, and intricate geometric details without the need for support structures.

The PA12 material offers outstanding mechanical properties, including high tensile strength, impact resistance, and durability, making it ideal for functional armor applications. Its lightweight nature ensures wearer comfort, while its slight flexibility allows for better shock absorption. The component features a uniform, slightly grainy surface texture characteristic of MJF, which can be post-processed (e.g., dyed, polished, or coated) for enhanced aesthetics or weather resistance.

Designed with ergonomic contours and strategic ventilation channels, the armor balances protection and mobility. PA12’s resistance to abrasion and chemicals ensures long-term performance, though additional coatings may be applied for UV stability in outdoor use.
