FDM Nylon-CF10

FDM Carbon Fiber Thermoplastic

Request a sample

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 with much higher strength than the nylon base material. This makes it an excellent choice for 3D printed work-holding fixtures that can be made lighter and faster than traditional metal fixtures, but with sufficient strength.

Key Attributes

Relative to capabilities, Nylon-CF10 is the bridge between ABS-CF10 and Nylon 12CF, two other carbon fiber materials.

Very good stiffness and strength, being 67% stronger and 190% stiffer than the nylon blend base material.
Excellent durability characteristics with good toughness and abrasion resistance.
Resistant to many chemicals including those found in manufacturing environments.
Printed parts exhibit a smooth, matte surface finish.

Key Applications

The durability that carbon fiber imparts to Nylon-CF10 makes this material a good fit for higher-strength applications.

Manufacturing tooling where the combination of 3D printing’s design freedom and Nylon-CF10’s strength offer advantages.
Functional prototyping for use cases with higher load requirements than what can be handled with standard engineering plastics.
Low-volume and highly customized production parts that can replace metal under the appropriate circumstances.
