About: Carbon Fiber Nylon/CF-PA, A brief introduction.
CF-PA is based on nylon 6/66 copolymer, adding 20% carbon fiber greatly enhances the strength, rigidity and toughness of nylon, and can replace metal materials in many occasions; Self-lubricating wear resistance makes it suitable for printing gears; High toughness and impact resistance make it suitable for printing durable parts. High temperature resistance, heat deformation temperature up to 155℃; Low shrinkage, it is not easy to warp and crack when printing, and the surface of printed models is matte and delicate.
