3DXTECH CarbonX PA12+CF (Carbon Fibre Nylon) – Excellent Performance

3DXTECH Logo

HK$ 988.00

CarbonX™ PA12+CF is made using a specialty Nylon 12 [PA12] and high-modulus carbon fibre. This material offers an excellent combination of performance and printability. PA12 absorbs much less moisture than PA6-based materials and has superior retention of mechanical properties after exposure to humid environments. Execellent strength and low density, superb for aeronautical and drone projects.

The weight of this filament is 500g per pc.

CarbonX™ PA12+CF Carbon Fibre Nylon Filament

CarbonX™ Carbon Fibre PA12 is made using high-modulus carbon fibre and a specialty Nylon 12 (PA12) that we chose for it’s printability, thermal properties, and chemical resistance. PA12+CF is widely used in a variety of industries due to its excellent chemical resistance, low moisture absorption, and wide processing window. Our formulation ensures very low shrinkage in the printed part resulting in excellent dimensional stability, making our PA12+CF an excellent choice for tools, fixtures, and jigs.

Benefits of PA12+CF Includes:

  • High thermal properties, with a CUT(Continuous Use Temperature) of 120°C and HDT(Heat Deflection Temperature) of 150°C
  • Excellent strength and stiffness over a wide temperature range, up to 150°C
  • Very low moisture absorption yielding improved retention of mechanical properties even when exposed to humid environments
  • Low density makes it ideal for light-weight parts
  • Superior chemical resistances, especially when compared to PA6 nylons
  • Low shrinkage and warping for high dimensional stability and reproducible part-to-part measurements

Filament Specifications:

1.75mm and 2.85mm +/- 0.05mm in diameter

Recommended Print Settings:

  • Extruder: 265-285°C
  • Bed Temp: 90-110°C
  • Nozzle: Hardened steel nozzle with minimum diameter of 0.4mm recommended
  • Bed Prep: Magigoo Bed Prep Adhesive and 3DXTECH Polyimide Tape work best for 3DXTech filaments.
  • Heated Chamber: Recommended
  • Other: Ideal layer height is 60% of nozzle diameter. Not recommend printing layers smaller than 0.2mm with carbon fibre reinforced filaments.
  • Supports: Water soluble AquaTek™ X1 USM works great for complex parts.
  • Drying Instructions: 90°C for 4 hours.

Carbon Fibre Reinforced Filament

3DXTECH CarbonX PA12+CF (Carbon Fiber Nylon) Zoom In

What Is It?

Fibres 5-10 micrometers wide made of carbon. The fibres are aligned following the axis of the material.

This, along with their physical makeup, are what give this material its excellent properties.

What Does It Do?

Carbon Fibres demonstrate a lot of desirable material properties:

  • High stiffness
  • High tensile strength
  • High heat tolerance
  • High chemical resistance
  • Low weight
  • Low thermal expansion

How Does It Work?

Reinforcing plastic with carbon fibres produces a 3D printing filament which exhibits the best properties of both the carbon fibres and the plastic of choice.

What Is It Good For?

Ideal for any applications which require light weight and rigidity.

Carbon fibre reinforced parts, designed to use less material and save weight, is extremely popular in aerospace, civil engineering, the military, and motorsports.

Abrasive Material

This material is particularly abrasive among 3D printing filaments. Users may find standard brass nozzles are chewed through very quickly compared to standard wear and tear. When worn through, the nozzle diameter will widen inconsistently and the printer will experience extrusion issues.

Because of this, it’s strongly recommended this material be printed through a hardened steel nozzle rather than a softer metal. Hardened steel nozzles can often be inexpensive and easily installed depending on your printer manufacturer’s instructions.
