Noctuo PA12+CF15 Filament

Filament for Professional and Hobby Use

Noctuo PA12+CF15 is a filament designed for applications where mechanical resistance, dimensional stability, and high thermal and chemical resistance are key. With the addition of carbon microfibres, this material offers significantly higher stiffness and hardness compared to standard nylon filaments. The surface of the prints is aesthetically matte and conceals layers very well.

Why is Noctuo PA12+CF15 exceptional for its target audience?

• Ideal for functional parts, tools, and prototypes – high strength and resistance to temperatures and chemicals.
• Suitable for structural elements, automotive components, and brackets.
• Stable printing due to low shrinkage and minimal moisture absorption.
• Matte surface and precise details – also suitable for design applications.

Mechanical and Thermal Properties

• Tensile strength at break: 125 MPa
• High stiffness and hardness due to the carbon fibre content.
• Impact resistance: Charpy 16 kJ/m²
• Thermal resistance: Vicat softening temperature 171 °C

Durability and Usability

• High chemical resistance – especially against oils, greases, and fuels.
• Good fatigue strength – suitable for stressed parts.
• Minimal moisture absorption – stable properties even during long-term storage.
• Relatively low shrinkage – easy printing of larger objects.
