PET-CF, 1.75mm

3D-Fuel PET-CF is a blend of tough PET and carbon fibers. Carbon fiber improves hardness and mechanical strength while helping maintain low warping and shrinkage compared to regular PET.

Due to its dimensional stability and lower water absorption rate, PET-CF is a better choice than nylon for printing functional parts used in high humidity environments. Also, its high-temperature resistance and low warping make it suitable for printing mechanical assembly parts, such as automotive accessories and fixtures.

Our PET-CF has excellent high-temperature resistance and a soft, matte appearance. Its excellent strength, heat resistance, dimensional stability, and low moisture absorption make 3D-Fuel PET-CF an ideal choice for load-bearing structures or prints used in high-temperature and humid environments.

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a semicrystalline polyester commonly used in soda bottles and automotive parts when reinforced with a fiber filler. This material is one of the easiest filaments in our portfolio to print and has an outstanding price-to-performance ratio. When annealed, it has a temperature resistance of over 155 ̊C, and good chemical resistance for common solvents.
