FDM Nylon 12CF parts on a bike frame

The red-painted parts on this bike frame are made with Nylon 12 Carbon Fiber.

3D Printing with Nylon 12 Carbon Fiber

3D printing with carbon fiber material lets you build strong, stiff, lightweight tools and parts. FDM Nylon 12CF combines nylon 12 and carbon fiber to achieve the highest flexural strength and stiffness-to-weight ratio of any of our FDM materials.
