Carbon Fiber PLA

Nylon Carbon

High Modulus, Low-Gloss Surface, Semi-Aromatic Polyamide

Nylon Carbon Fiber (CF) filled filament is a high-performance composite material used in FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D printing. It combines the toughness of nylon with the added strength and stiffness of carbon fibers, creating a material that is durable, lightweight, and dimensionally stable. This unique blend makes it well-suited for producing parts that demand both mechanical strength and long-term reliability. Thanks to its enhanced properties, Nylon CF is an excellent choice for functional prototypes, end-use components, and specialized industrial applications. Engineers and designers can rely on it to deliver consistent performance in demanding environments, making it a versatile and robust option for advanced 3D printing projects.

Applications

  • Functional Prototypes:

    PLA CF is well-suited for creating functional prototypes that require high strength and stiffness. It can withstand demanding mechanical applications and provides excellent structural integrity.

  • Tooling and Fixtures:

    The combination of nylon's toughness and carbon fiber's reinforcement makes PLA CF ideal for producing tooling and fixtures. It can withstand repeated use, handle high loads, and maintain dimensional stability, making it suitable for jigs, molds, and other manufacturing aids.

  • End-Use Parts:

    PLA CF is often used to fabricate end-use parts where strength and durability are essential. Its excellent mechanical properties make it suitable for components in automotive, aerospace, robotics, and other industries that require reliable and long-lasting parts.

  • Sporting Goods:

    The high strength and stiffness of PLA CF make it popular in the production of sporting goods. It can be used to create lightweight yet robust parts for applications such as bicycle frames, racquet handles, protective gear, and equipment components.

  • Drones and UAVs:

    Nylon CF's combination of strength, lightweight properties, and resistance to vibration makes it a suitable material for manufacturing drone frames and other components. It provides the necessary rigidity and durability required for aerial applications.

  • Mechanical Parts and Enclosures:

    Nylon CF is often used for producing mechanical parts, enclosures, and housings that require both strength and impact resistance. Its ability to withstand harsh environments and high loads makes it a reliable choice for industrial equipment and machinery components.

  • Customized Tools and Grips:

    The enhanced strength and stiffness of PLA CF, combined with its excellent dimensional stability, make it suitable for creating customized tools, handles, and grips. It can be tailored to fit specific ergonomic requirements and provide a comfortable and secure grip.
