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.
FDM Nylon 12CF is a viable material for any industry that utilizes 3D printing for prototyping, tooling and production parts. Its highly capable functionality makes it a valuable material asset in any manufacturer’s 3D printing arsenal.
