Hello, I am planning to 3D print this moped engine intake pipe using plastic sintering. I would like to know which material is best suited for this purpose, considering it needs to be resistant to hydrocarbons (gasoline and oil) and withstand temperatures around 100°C. Similar parts have already been made using this process; I know they are made of polyamide, but I don’t know more than that.

    Hello Alex,

    Yes, you can indeed use Polyamide on this application. We recommend you to use the 3DP process SLS or MJF with PA12 material.

    Please check below the link to the PA12 material datasheet here at Xometry Pro:
