PETG-CF Carbon Fiber 1kg

PETG-CF is a industrial grade filament ideally suited high-performance applications and for producing functional prototypes and for the production of replacement parts. This material can be printed on a FFF 3D printer without the need of a heated chamber. The inclusion of carbon fiber increased heat resistance, reduces warping and increases part rigidity. The low warping characteristics of PETG are further enhanced by carbon fiber making it an ideal solution for producing large parts. 

PETG-CF is particularly well suited to part annealing due to its semi-crystalline structure.Part strength can be further enhanced by annealing printed parts. This will make parts stronger, stiffer and more heat-resistant. PETG-CF can be crystalized by heating it to its glass transition point so that the polymer chains within it become more organized, and therefore stronger.

Annealing PETG-CF can improve increase performance by:

• Strength increase of 30%
• Stiffness increase of 10%
• Increase in heat resistance from 80 °C to 180 °C
