Availability:
PA-CF(composite of polyamide & carbon fiber) is a common 3D Printing Filament that combines the excellent mechanical properties of polyamide(nylon) with the high strength and lightweight characteristics of carbon fiber. PA-CF Aviation contains 20-30% carbon fiber, offering higher strength, lighter weight, and superior thermal performance, wear resistance, and chemical resistance. These attributes make it an ideal material for high-end applications such as aerospace, racing, drones, and premium sports equipment.
Advantages
1 -
  • Higher Mechanical Performance
    The higher carbon fiber content significantly enhances properties such as strength, stiffness, and tensile of PA-CF Aviation, allowing it to withstand extreme mechanical stresses. It is suitable for high-performance components in fields such as aerospace and automotive manufacturing, where mechanical performance requirements are extremely high.
  • Lighter Weight
    The higher carbon fiber content makes the material lighter, which is crucial for applications in aerospace, as reducing weight can improve fuel efficiency and increase payload capacity.
  • Superior Thermal Performance
    With a higher carbon fiber content, the material has better thermal conductivity and heat resistance, maintaining stable performance under extreme temperature conditions. This makes it ideal for high-temperature environments or applications requiring excellent thermal management.
  • Enhanced Chemical Resistance
    Polyamide (PA) inherently has good chemical resistance, and the addition of carbon fiber further improves its ability to resist various chemicals, enabling long-term use in harsh environments.
  • Improved Electrical Properties
    PA-CF Aviation has static dissipation capabilities, making it suitable for applications that require anti-static properties, such as electronic device enclosures and drone bodies. Additionally, it can provide some level of electromagnetic shielding in specific applications.
  • More Matte Surface Finish
    The higher carbon fiber content results in a more matte surface finish after printing, which can enhance friction or provide better adhesion in certain applications.
PA-CF Aviation not only meets the rigorous material performance requirements of these fields but also enhances overall performance and efficiency through lightweight design. Although it presents greater printing challenges, for those professional users and in high-end applications, the advantages of PA-CF Aviation far outweigh the difficulties, making it a vital material for innovative design and high-performance manufacturing.
Applications:
1. Aerospace
Widely used in lightweight structural components such as drone wings, satellite components, and aircraft interiors, as well as in heat-resistant parts. Its high strength, lightweight, and excellent thermal performance ensure stable operation under extreme conditions, while providing electromagnetic shielding and electrostatic dissipation functions.

2. Automobile Racing
Used to manufacture high-performance components like suspension systems, brake calipers, and intake manifolds, reducing vehicle weight to improve handling, acceleration, and fuel efficiency, enhancing competitive performance.

3. Drones
