High thermal properties, Polycarb itself has a Tg of 147°C
Amorphous structure gives it low, near isotropic shrinkage
Further improved stiffness and dimensional stability with the addition of carbon fiber reinforcement
Very low odor emitted while printing
Wide processing range of 280-310°C
What Is It?
Fibers 5-10 micrometers wide made of carbon. The fibers 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 Fibers demonstrate a lot of desirable material properties:
High stiffness
High tensile strength
High heat tolerance
High chemical resistance
Low weight
Low thermal expansion
What Is It Good For?
Ideal for any applications which require light weight and rigidity.
Carbon fiber reinforced parts, designed to use less material and save weight, is extremely popular in aerospace, civil engineering, the military, and motorsports.
Recommended Print Settings:
Extruder: 280-310°C
Bed Temp: 110-120°C
Nozzle: We currently recommend a hardened steel nozzle with a minimum diameter of 0.4mm.
Other: Ideal layer height is 60% of nozzle diameter. We do not recommend printing layers smaller than 0.2mm with carbon fiber reinforced filaments.
