Carbon-fiber reinforcement
Short-cut carbon fiber is blended through the PLA to reinforce the material.
Increased rigidity
A stiffer material character supports the development of housings, fixtures and prototypes where shape stability matters.
Low warpage
The formulation retains a low-warping character to support the printing of practical shapes.
The material combines its filled composition with a familiar PLA printing approach; use a nozzle suited to the grade.
The right setup.
A considered result.
Use an FDM printer configured for filled filament. Select a wear-resistant nozzle and match the hotend, feed path and diameter to the grade.
