One object is flexible whereas the second object is not, as the design for flexibility is based off of an individual who bends 🤸 but is being created in a 3D format.

When you want to reduce flex in an object, sometimes the only feedback you receive is that your object feels too flexible. Your object will function, as the geometry is correct, but when under load, it bends more than expected.

When you get to this point, the limits of PA12 have been reached. PA12 is considered a mid-performance material due to its unique properties; however, this material is not suitable for applications requiring high stiffness.

If the goal is to reduce flex in your object, then PA12GB is usually the best option due to its properties:

• Higher stiffness
• Increased geometric stability
• Less deformation under load 🧱

In many cases, you may not need to create a new design – instead, you may simply need the right material.
