PA12CF35

Category: PACF

Material Information

Name:	PA12CF35
Source:	Plural Additive Manufacturing
Description:	PA12CF35 is a carbon fiber PA12 copolymer which provides greater stiffness, strength and toughness over similar products on the market. The high carbon fiber loading provides superior tensile strength and modulus while the PA12 base promotes relatively high ductility and ease of handling. Special formulation and processing reduce filament breakage during loading and printing. For demanding applications within the aerospace and automotive industries, the filament provides high heat deflection temperatures. The dimensional stability also increases compared to standard nylon due to the additional of carbon fiber. In addition, PA12CF35 increases stiffness and strength in load bearing orientations while showing less warping than standard nylon.

Considerations

Hardened nozzles and replacement feeder gears should be ordered. Due to the abrasiveness of the material, it will wear down brass nozzles and feeder gears. We sell hardened nozzles, for your 3ntr printer, as well as replacement feeder gears.

Printing Skill & Experience - Advanced

PA12CF35 is moderately hygroscopic, meaning it will absorb and retain some moisture from the atmosphere, affecting visual quality and mechanical properties. For best results, print and store filament in a dry environment. If necessary, dry filament in an oven at 80 °C (175 °F) for 3 – 4 hours.
