Product Description
PET-CF 3D Printing Filament, 15% chopped carbon fiber reinforced Polyethylene Terephthalate FDM material, specially developed for FDM 3D printing process, and its substrate material is PET engineering plastic with low moisture absorption, high strength, creep resistance, excellent chemical resistance, and high heat resistance. With good dimensional stability, no warpage no shrinkage, and no smell, no heating chamber is required during the printing process. It can be used with S-PET Quick-Remove Support Material to solve the problem of poor molding effect of supporting the surface of a complex model.
Intelligent fiber reinforcement technology
Controlling the dispersion and distribution of chopped carbon fibers within the material matrix during the extrusion process, the fibers form a mesh skeleton structure within the material and bear most of the load transferred by the material matrix. Smart Fiber Reinforced Technology greatly improves the mechanical properties and heat resistance of the material, and releases the internal stress during the printing process through the fiber mesh structure, resulting in good dimensional stability of the printed part and no warpage.
Low creep
The molecular chain structure of PET is highly regular and has a rigid benzene ring structure so PET has better mechanical properties and less deformation under long-term load. Compared with PA and PC materials, PET has better creep resistance.
Carbon Fiber Reinforcement
PET-CF 3D Printing Filament is enhanced with 15% carbon fiber, significantly boosting its strength, stiffness, and impact resistance for durable and reliable prints.
Creep Resistance
Maintains shape and integrity under continuous stress, ideal for functional and load-bearing parts.
Dimensional Stability
Provides precise, warp-free, and shrink-free prints, ensuring accuracy and reliability.
