PET Carbon Fibre filament from AzureFilm is a carbon fiber reinforced PET filament (PET-CF).
It is an easy-to-print 3D printer filament. Due to the carbon fiber reinforced structure, this material has high impact resistance and excellent mechanical properties without distortion.
Fiber-reinforced materials (FRPs) offer outstanding mechanical properties. In addition to typical composite driving factors such as fiber volume and fiber orientation, studies have found that printing parameters such as nozzle type and speed, fill density, layer thickness, bed temperatures, and fill pattern can influence mechanical properties.
PET-CF from Azurefilm, in addition to having excellent mechanical properties without deformation, has high strength of overlapping layers along Z, temperature resistance up to 125°C, and low water absorption.
In fact, the material can withstand temperatures up to 125°C for a short period (max. 3 hours) and can easily withstand temperatures over 100°C for more than 10 hours.
What are the main aspects of PET Carbon Fibre 3D printing filament Azurefilm?
PET Carbon Fibre filament from Azurefilm is characterized by several aspects:
- Easy to print
- High strength of overlapping layers along Z
- Excellent mechanical properties
- High impact resistance
- Economical: carbon fibers are shredded, so there is a significant reduction in production length
- Resistance to high temperatures up to 125°C
- Increased dimensional stability: chopped carbon fibers are extremely strong and not only impart high strength and stiffness, but also help prevent shrinkage when the part is being cooled
Requirements for printing PET CF filaments. Azurefilm
- The thickness of the carbon fibers within the filament ranges from 0.4mm to 0.6mm, so the nozzle diameter must be 0.6mm
- Heated print bed to keep the 3D model adhered to the plane
- Hardened nozzle: fiber-reinforced filament is abrasive, so a standard brass nozzle will wear out in a short period of time.
- Filament dryer: it is recommended to keep the filament in dry box at a controlled and constant temperature to store it in a dry place. This allows for better results in printed objects.
- Closed printing chamber: it is recommended to use a printer with a closed chamber to ensure a controlled environment.
Package contains: 1 x PET Carbon Fibre filament sample 1.75mm / 50g / 17m for 3D printing Azurefilm
