DESIGNED FOR STERILE APPLICATION
This unique material from Taulman3D is not just your average nylon. This engineering-grade nylon has been specially designed for FFF 3D printing, can be printed at slightly lower temperatures than other nylon filaments, and is capable of withstanding ethylene oxide and flash steam sterilization processes. Now you can 3D print your medical, dental, or food processing prototypes with a durable, high strength material that can withstand your rigorous applications testing. While this Nylon’s base ingredient is FDA approved as a food and beverage rated material, the process of 3D printing with the material would require further testing and submission to claim FDA approval. This material is manufactured in the USA.
Regulatory Information
1) Nylon 680 is "NOT FDA Medical Certified". It is a Food and beverage rated material under 21CFR177.1500 / CFR177.1395

Questions
Is Nylon 680 autoclavable?
Do I need my 3d printer FDA certified for the FDA merit? Or this only indicates the filament itself?
I am confused as to what kind of nozzle is supposed to be used with this filament. Olsson ruby can’t be used because it contains lead. Hardened steel nozzles are similarly not considered food safe. And, Stainless steel nozzles wear down very quickly and don’t thermally conduct well enough to maintain the temperatures necessary for layer adhesion.
While Stainless steel does have poor thermal conductivity, it would be the preferable option for printing this material. You may need to run the hotend temp up by 10c at the most but this should not cause issues with the filament's extrusion.
