Fiberlogy Nylon (PA12) + CF15 black 0,5 kg

The application of carbon fiber allows for a reduction of weight of the component while maintaining its high structural stiffness.

PA12 + CF has a range of applications across the industry, including the automotive and the engineering sectors, lending itself to the creation of advanced prototypes, drones and final products which require increased durability while reducing their weight.

The filament is wound on a spool, vacuum packed with a moisture absorber

Applications

• Prototypes: car parts, drones, high durability mechanical components
• Substitutes of metal elements
• End-use products, part engineering and tool production based on 3D printing

Properties

• twice the tensile strength of Nylon PA12
• more than twice the stiffness of Nylon PA12
• higher thermal resistance compared to unmodified Nylon PA12 (up to 160°C)
• high chemical resistance
• easier printing compared to unmodified PA12 nylons

Recommended print settings by manufacturer

The following parameters are only suggested print settings for this material. To ensure the best print quality, it is necessary to choose the appropriate settings for a specific printer and printing conditions.
