Nylon 12 Carbon-filled

Nylon 12 Carbon Fiber Fill combines Nylon 12 and cut carbon fiber to achieve the highest flexural strength and stiffness-to-weight ratio of any FDM material. Nylon 12CF offers the strength and stiffness of a metal alternative and is suitable for specific applications. Replace heavy metal tools with lighter, ergonomic carbon fiber FDM tools. Use carbon fiber functional prototypes to validate designs faster than expensive and time-consuming metal prototypes.

Related & Alternative Materials

FDM · Composites

PA6-CF

FDM · Black

PA6-CF is a carbon fiber reinforced engineering plastic based on PA6, which combines the toughness and wear resistance of nylon with the strength and rigidity of carbon fiber. It has excellent structural properties and dimensional stability, making it ideal for demanding applications such as automotive parts, electronic housings, mechanical components, and high-strength 3D printed products.

SLS · Composites

Nylon 12 Glass-filled (Black)

SLS · Black

Nylon 12 Glass Filled (Black) has a black surface that is slightly grainy and porous. Nylon glass filling is more durable and resistant than nylon PA12. It gives you great freedom in design - both complex and enclosed volumes. This material is ideal for technical components requiring resistance and load. The surface accuracy is not as good as polyamide 12, but it meets the needs of technical parts.

SLS · Composites

Nylon 12 Glass-filled (Off White)

SLS · Off White

Nylon 12 glass filled (off-white) surface is white, slightly grainy and porous. Nylon glass filling is more durable and resistant than nylon PA12. It gives you great freedom in design - you can design complex volumes or realize enclosed spaces. This material is ideal for technical components requiring resistance and load. The surface accuracy is not as good as polyamide 12, but it meets the needs of technical parts.
