Exceptionally strong mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistance properties make this one of the most premiere materials among the most demanding applications. The additional stiffness and light-weight nature of the carbon fiber reinforcement make this very popular in automotive, aerospace, defense, semi-conductor, and oil/gas industries.

The exact melting point depends on pressure and is usually measured at the specified 1 atmosphere or 100 kPa.

Fibers 5-10 micrometers wide made of carbon. The fibers are aligned following the axis of the material. This, along with their physical makeup, are what give this material its excellent properties. What Does It Do? Carbon Fibers demonstrate a lot of desirable material properties: high stiffness high tensile strength high heat tolerance high chemical resistance low weight low thermal expansion How Does It Work? Reinforcing plastic with carbon fibers produces a 3D printing filament which exhibits the best properties of both the carbon fibers and the plastic of choice. What Is It Good For? Ideal for any applications which require light weight and rigidity. For these reasons, carbon fiber reinforced filament is very popular in aerospace, civil engineering, the military, and motorsports. Read more Abrasive Material This material is particularly abrasive among 3D printing filaments. Users may find standard brass nozzles are chewed through very quickly compared to standard wear and tear. When worn through, the nozzle diameter will widen inconsistently and the printer will experience extrusion issues. Because of this, it's strongly recommended this material be printed through a hardened steel nozzle rather than a softer metal. Hardened steel nozzles can often be inexpensive and easily installed depending on your printer manufacturer's instructions. Read more
