FlashForge PA-CF PA12-CF carbon 1,75mm zwart 1,0kg 3D-filament

The FlashForge PA-CF PA12-CF is a high-performance carbon fiber reinforced nylon 12 filament, designed for demanding applications requiring exceptional strength, stiffness, and heat resistance. This 1.75mm diameter filament in black offers a net weight of 1.0 kg, ideal for functional prototypes, tooling, jigs, fixtures, automotive parts, and drone components.

Advantages

With approximately 15-20% carbon fiber content, this filament delivers outstanding mechanical properties including high tensile strength (70-80 MPa) and flexural modulus (3000-3500 MPa). Its low warpage and good heat resistance (HDT 100-120°C at 0.45 MPa) make it suitable for precision parts. The material is hygroscopic, so dry storage is recommended to maintain print quality.

Suitable for

• Functional prototypes and end-use parts
• Tooling, jigs, and fixtures
• Automotive and aerospace components
• Drone frames and lightweight structures
• Industrial applications requiring high strength and stiffness

Recommendations

For best results, store filament in a dry environment (e.g., sealed bag with desiccant) and dry before use if moisture absorption is suspected. Use a hardened steel nozzle to prevent wear from carbon fiber. Ensure proper ventilation during printing.
