The carbon fiber reinforcement provides significantly improved stiffness, strength and heat resistance without affecting z-axis layer adhesion. Featuring a heat deflection temperature of 215°C, this material lends itself perfectly to functioning automotive applications where strength and heat resistance are required from the material.

PolyMide™ PA6-CF is also an ESD safe material making it a suitable candidate for printing electronic jigs and fixtures.

Print Settings

Nozzle Temp: 280-300°C
Bed Temp: 25-50°C (do not exceed 50)
Camber Temp: 25-50°C (do not exceed 50)
Printing Speed: 60mm/s
Cooling Fan: OFF
Bed Surface: Almost any surface with a thin coat of PVA or 3DLac, flex plate recommended
Wear Resistant Nozzle: Recommendedas the 20% chopped carbon fibers (by weight) is highly abrasive
Annealing: Recommended at 90°C for 2 hours
Supports: PolyDissolve S1 recommended, remove supports as soon as printing completes as atmospheric moisture will cause the supports to bond better with the model, making them harder to remove.
Feeding: This is a very stiff filament, and a little brittle, so a feeder tube and no corners in your feeding path are recommended.
Moisture: PolyMide PA6 is very hydroscopic, so it will absorb moisture quickly from the air. a PolyBox or similar filament storage and feeding system is recommended. Moist filament can be dried at 80°C for 12 hours in a conventional oven.

Material Properties:

Heat Deflection Temp: 196°C (1.80 Mpa HDT-a) AND 215°C (0.45 Mp HDT-B) tested to ASTM D648 (ISO 75)
Youngs Modulus: 7453 Mpa tested to ATSM D638 (ISO 527, GB/T 1040)
Charpy Impact Resistance: 13.3 kJ/m² tested to ASTM D256 (ISO 179, GB/T 1043)
Tensile Strength: Thanks to PolyMakers Fiber Adhesion Technology, layer adhesion is improved by 27%, giving a tensile strength in the Z-axis of 67.7Mpa according to ASTM D638 (ISO 527, GB/T1040)
