Discover the Capabilities of Stratasys' Carbon Fiber 3D Printers

Carbon Fiber 3D Printing and Advance Industrial Grade Thermoplastics

Carbon fiber 3D printing has several advantages that make it an appealing choice in the manufacturing industry. Its superior strength-to-weight ratio is one of its major selling points, providing the ability to create parts that are as strong as metal but significantly lighter. This not only enables more efficient designs but also can lead to significant savings in transport and fuel costs in industries such as automotive and aerospace.

3D Printed Parts using FDM Nylon-CF10.

Advantages of Carbon Fiber in Manufacturing

Highlighting FDM Nylon Carbon Fiber 10, known as FDM Nylon-CF10.

The base polymer is filled 10% by weight with chopped carbon, which produces a composite material 67% stronger and 190% stiffer than the nylon base material. FDM Nylon-CF10 also possesses good chemical resistance, toughness and abrasion resistance.

Carbon Fiber Composite Materials

Carbon fiber 3D printing is not just a novel technology – it's a powerful tool that expands the realm of what's possible in design and manufacturing. It allows for rapid prototyping and faster iterations, meaning designs can be tested and improved more quickly.

Integrating carbon fiber capabile 3D printers reduce time-to-market and provide a competitive edge in today's fast-paced manufacturing environment.

FDM Nylon 12CF (Carbon Fiber)

FDM Nylon 12CF (Carbon Fiber)

Carbon Reinforced FDM Nylon 12 Carbon Fiber (Nylon 12CF) combines Nylon 12 and chopped carbon fiber to achieve the highest flexural strength and stiffness-to-weight ratio of any FDM material. Nylon 12CF also provides a cleaner carbon fiber additive process than SLA with equivalent strength properties. Lightweight Strength. The strength and rigidity to replace metal in certain applications. Replace heavy metal tools with lighter, ergonomic carbon fiber FDM tools. Validate designs faster with carbon fiber functional prototypes instead of costly and time-consuming metal prototypes.

FDM Nylon-CF10

FDM Nylon-CF10

FDM Nylon-CF10 is a nylon carbon fiber filament. The base polymer is filled 10% by weight with chopped carbon, which produces a composite material 67% stronger and 190% stiffer than the nylon base material. FDM Nylon-CF10 is also possesses good chemical resistance, toughness and abrasion resistance. The material’s strength and rigidity make it an excellent choice to replace metal for appropriate work holding fixtures and other manufacturing tooling. Its chemical resistance is also a desirable feature in an environment exposed to typical manufacturing fluids. FDM Nylon-CF10 possesses a uniform matte finish that produces a visually appealing surface finish.

FDM ABS-CF10

FDM ABS-CF10

The benefits of ABS with the stiffness of carbon fiber. Stratasys ABS-CF10 combines the benefits of a carbon fiber filament with the desirable mechanical properties and ease of use of ABS 3D printing material. The result is an engineering thermoplastic with superior strength and rigidity for factory floor tooling applications. Significantly reduce your tooling lead time by 3D printing them with Stratasys ABS-CF10 instead of machining. Depending on the application, carbon-reinforced ABS can replace metal for lighter, more ergonomic tooling. Combined with soluble support, Stratasys ABS-CF10 can achieve complex geometries that aren’t possible with machining.
