FIBERON™ PA12-CF10 — is a high-quality nylon filament reinforced with carbon fiber that provides a unique combination of mechanical strength, heat resistance and ease of printing. This material is specially designed for complex engineering tasks, such as manufacturing production tools and functional prototypes.
Key benefits:
-
Mechanical strength: the filament has high stiffness and stability thanks to Fiber Adhesion™ technology, which improves the adhesion of fibers to the matrix. This provides increased strength in all directions.
-
Excellent heat resistance: FIBERON™ PA12-CF10 can withstand temperatures up to 105°C and has minimal changes in mechanical properties in dry and wet conditions.
-
Warp-Free™ technology: ensures dimensional stability and minimization of deformations during printing, even in large parts.
-
Ease of use: the filament is compatible with most FDM/FFF 3D printers equipped with an extruder and nozzle capable of working with abrasive materials.
Recommendations for printing:
-
Nozzle temperature: 280-300˚C
-
Printer platform temperature: 45-50˚C
-
Printer camera temperature: room temperature
-
Print speed: up to 300 mm/s
-
Cooling fan: off
-
Retraction distance for direct drive (Direct Drive): 3 mm
-
Retraction speed for direct drive (Direct Drive): 40 mm/s
-
Material drying mode: 100˚C for 10 hours OR level 3 in PolyDryer™ for 18 hours (only if the material has absorbed moisture)
-
Storage: must be in a dry environment, for example in a sealed box PolyDryer™ Box
-
Annealing: 100˚C for 16 hours
Comparison of the main characteristics of PA12-CF and PA6-CF:
-
Moisture resistance:
-
PA12-CF is less sensitive to moisture, which allows you to preserve its mechanical properties even in a humid environment.
-
PA6-CF absorbs more moisture, so it needs to be thoroughly dried before printing.
-
Mechanical properties:
-
PA12-CF is more flexible and impact resistant, ideal for parts under stress.
-
PA6-CF has higher rigidity, suitable for static structures.
-
Application:
-
PA12-CF is used for parts in wet environments (cases, mechanisms, external elements).
-
PA6-CF is more often used for dry operating conditions and requires humidity control before printing.
Application of FIBERON™ PA12-CF10:
Thanks to the moisture resistance of PA12-CF — it is the optimal choice for the production of spare parts that are operated in difficult conditions, in particular in the open air or in the water environment. This filament is ideal for parts that require high strength, stability and heat resistance, such as tools, functional prototypes and mechanical components.
