Nylon Carbon Fiber - Ultimate Strength
Also known as PACF, this material combines the temperature capabilities and chemical resistance of nylon PA6 with the light weight and stiffness of carbon fiber.
Advantages:
High strength
Low weight
140*C (284*F) heat deflection temperature
Fast printing
Disadvantages:
Cost
Limited color selection
Absorbs moisture from atmosphere, must be stored dry
When to use Nylon Carbon Fiber:
When ultimate strength matters
Functional parts for automation, automotive, and agriculture
Our choice: Filamatrix Nylon Carbon Fiber (PACF)
Filamatrix nylon carbon fiber filament combines the durability of nylon with the strength of carbon fiber, making it an ideal material for high-performance 3D printing applications. This composite filament offers enhanced rigidity and thermal stability, catering to a range of industries requiring robust parts that can withstand stress and strain. The lightweight nature of the carbon fiber contributes to reduced overall weight without compromising strength, making it suitable for aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications. Additionally, the filament exhibits excellent layer adhesion and can be processed at higher speeds, providing users with efficient print times while maintaining the quality of the finished product.
Application examples:
Protection for precision machined components
Ducting for industrial machinery
