Carbon Fibre Nylon (CF-PA): A Brief Introduction

Updated 1 min read

CF-PA is based on nylon 6/66 copolymer. Adding 20% carbon fiber greatly enhances the strength, rigidity, and toughness of nylon and can replace metal materials on many occasions. Self-lubricating wear resistance makes it suitable for printing gears; High toughness and impact resistance make it suitable for printing durable parts. High temperature resistance, heat deformation temperature up to 155℃; Low shrinkage, it is not easy to warp and crack when printing, and the surface of printed models is matte and delicate.
