Nylon 12cf Carbon Fiber is a rigid yet flexible 3D printing material

FDM Nylon 12CF (carbon fiber) combines nylon 12 base polymer with chopped carbon fiber, 35% by weight. The result is an FDM material with the capability to produce parts that are very strong and stiff. Due to the unique directional orientation of the fibers, Nylon 12CF exhibits anisotropic properties that can be employed similar to a composite laminate.

Key Attributes

The addition of carbon fibers imparts advantageous properties on top of the favorable characteristics of nylon 12.

Possesses high tensile strength and very high rigidity.
Highest stiffness-to-weight ratio within the Stratasys FDM material portfolio.
Low moisture absorption compared to other nylon polymers like Nylon 6 and Nylon 6/6.
Very good chemical resistance including oils, solvents, and fuels.

Key Applications

FDM Nylon 12CF is a perfect fit for applications where high strength plus rigidity are important requirements.

Demanding functional prototyping applications including situations where metal prototypes are too costly or time consuming.
High-strength tooling where stiffness is critical for precisely locating the workpiece such as drill guides and soft jaw machining fixtures.
Short-run, customized end-use parts that can replace metal under the right conditions for lighter, more agile production.
