FDM Nylon 12CF
Polyamide + Chopped Carbon Fiber
– Composite material with 35% chopped carbon fiber reinforcement
– Highest flexural strength and stiffness-to-weight ratio FDM material
– Moderate chemical resistance
– Static dissipative qualities
Potential applications:
– Metal component replacement
– Production parts
– Tooling
Material Description
FDM Nylon 12CF™ is a carbon-filled thermoplastic with excellent structural characteristics. The material is comprised of a blend of Nylon 12 resin and chopped carbon fiber, at a loading of 35% by weight. This combination produces one of the strongest thermoplastics in the FDM material portfolio. It has the highest flexural strength of any FDM thermoplastic, resulting in the highest stiffness-to-weight ratio.
Appropriate uses include strong but lightweight tooling applications and functional prototypes in the aerospace, automotive, industrial, and recreational manufacturing industries. FDM Nylon 12CF is available on the Fortus 380mc CF, Fortus 450mc and Stratasys F900 3D Printers and is compatible with SR-110™ support material.
