CarbonXā¢ Carbon Fiber PA12 is made using high-modulus carbon fiber and a specialty Nylon 12 (PA12) that we chose for its printability, thermal properties, and chemical resistance. PA12+CF is widely used in a variety of industries due to its excellent chemical resistance, low moisture absorption, and wide processing window. Our formulation ensures very low shrinkage in the printed part resulting in excellent dimensional stability, making our PA12+CF an excellent choice for tools, fixtures, and jigs.
Ā
Benefits of PA12+CF Includes:
Low density makes it ideal for light-weight parts
High thermal properties, with a CUT of 120Ā°C and HDT of 150Ā°C
Superior chemical resistance, especially when compared to PA6 nylons
Excellent strength and stiffness over a wide temperature range, up to 150Ā°C
Low shrinkage and warping for high dimensional stability and reproducible part-to-part measurements
Very low moisture absorption yielding improved retention of mechanical properties even when exposed to humid environments
Ā
This product contains 500 grams and 1kgs of filament.
2.85mm and 1KG Available on order only. (Lead time: <7 days)
Ā
Specifications
1.75mm and 2.85mm +/- 0.05mm in diameter
Ā
Print Recommendations
Extruder: 265-285Ā°C

New Digital Catalog
Packed with your favorite products, detailed information, and essential technical data. Whether your brand new to 3-D printing or need to find a specific filament that best fits your project, our catalog has everything you need in one easy-to-navigate place!
Explore key attributes like tensile strength, flexural strength, glass transition, and fire testing performance. Whether you're prototyping, creating functional parts, or printing detailed models, these property graphs will help you find the perfect filament for your project.
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 gives this material its excellent properties.
Ā
What Does It Do?
Carbon Fibers demonstrate a lot of desirable material properties:
High stiffness,Ā High tensile strength, High heat tolerance, High chemical resistance, Low weight,Ā Low thermal expansion
Ā
How Does It Work?
Reinforcing plastic with carbon fibers produces a 3D printing filament that exhibits the best properties of both the carbon fibers and the plastic of choice.
Ā
What Is It Good For?
Ideal for any applications which require lightweight and rigidity. Carbon fiber reinforced parts, designed to use less material and save weight, are extremely popular in aerospace, civil engineering, the military, and motorsports.
Ā
Abrasive Material
This material is particularly abrasive among 3D printing filaments. Users may find standard brass nozzles are chewed through very quickly compared to standard wear and tear. When worn through, the nozzle diameter will widen inconsistently, and the printer will experience extrusion issues.Ā Because of this, it'sĀ strongly recommendedĀ this material be printed through a hardened steel nozzle rather than a softer metal.Ā Hardenedsteel nozzlesĀ can often be inexpensive and easily installed depending on your printer manufacturer's instructions.
What filament sizes and diameters are offered for CARBONX PA12+CF?
Available in 500 g and 1 kg spools with diameters of 1.75 mm and 2.85 mm. The 2.85 mm 1 kg option is available on order with lead time under 7 days.
What printing temperatures and settings are recommended?
Extruder 265 to 285 C, bed 90 to 110 C, and a hardened steel nozzle with at least 0.4 mm diameter. The ideal layer height is 60 percent of the nozzle diameter and layers smaller than 0.2 mm are not recommended.
What properties make this filament suitable for tools and fixtures?
Low shrinkage and warping for dimensional stability, very low moisture absorption, high chemical resistance, and high thermal performance with CUT 120 C and HDT 150 C.
What bed preparation and support materials are recommended?
Use Magigoo Bed Prep or 3DXTECH Polyimide Tape for best bed adhesion. For complex models, AquaTek X1 USM universal supports are recommended.
Are there drying instructions and what is the lead time?
Dry the filament at 90 C for 4 hours before printing. Lead time is less than 7 days and the product is available on order.
