Carbon Fiber-Infused PLA, PETG, and Nylon
Applications: Aerospace, automotive, lightweight structural parts
Advantages: High stiffness, reduced weight, enhanced dimensional stability
Limitations: Abrasive to standard nozzles, requires hardened steel or ruby nozzles
Carbon-fiber-enhanced filaments integrate finely milled carbon strands to improve tensile strength and reduce weight. Carbon-fiber PLA provides a balance of stiffness and ease of printing, carbon-fiber PETG offers increased durability, and carbon-fiber Nylon excels in industrial-grade applications where strength and heat resistance are paramount.
Due to their abrasive nature, these filaments necessitate wear-resistant nozzles and precise print settings to maintain quality.
