PA-CF 3D Printing Filament is a polymer of polyamide (commonly known as Nylon) and carbon fiber. PA-CF General offers a balanced blend of enhanced mechanical properties and retained flexibility. Compared to higher-content variants, the lower carbon fiber percentage not only outperforms pure nylon in mechanical performance, but also retains sufficient flexibility for elastic and bending applications, such as clamps and connectors. A small amount of carbon fiber results in lighter weight and lower density, ideal for lightweight structures. It also provides superior surface finish, minimizing print quality issues and ensuring smoother, more aesthetically pleasing parts.

Advantages

1 -

Low Rigidity & Strength

Low rigidity and strength: The addition of a small content of carbon fiber improves its rigidity and strength. Compared with pure nylon, it has better mechanical properties.
Good Flexibility

Good flexibility: The low carbon fiber content allows the material maintain flexibility, perfect for applications that require a certain degree of elasticity and bending.
Lighter Weight

Lighter weight: Due to the lower carbon fiber content, the overall material is less dense and lighter.
Better Surface Finish

Better surface finish: Lower carbon fiber content generally makes it easier to print a smooth surface, reducing the impact of carbon fiber on surface quality.

PA-CF General is perfect for rapid prototyping and excellent for creating functional prototypes that demonstrate both appearance and functionality. It is well-suited for light structural components like drone casings and small mechanical parts, where weight reduction is crucial. Additionally, its ease of use and good printability make it ideal for educational and research projects, helping students and researchers explore carbon fiber-reinforced materials.

Applications：

1.Prototyping: Ideal for rapid prototyping, especially in situations where you need to demonstrate appearance or perform functional testing.

2.Lightweight structural parts: Perfect for structural parts that need to be lightweight and have a certain strength, such as UAV shell, small mechanical parts, etc.

3.Flexible parts: Excellent for parts that need some flexibility, such as connectors, etc.

4.Education and research: Suitable for teaching and research projects to help students and researchers understand the fundamental properties of carbon fiber reinforced materials.
