Fiberon™ PET-CF17

Fiberon™ PET-CF17: High-Performance Carbon Fiber Reinforced PET Filament Engineered for Strength and Precision Fiberon™ PET-CF17 is a carbon fiber reinforced PET (polyethylene terephthalate) filament, specifically designed for engineering-grade 3D printing. With 17% carbon fiber content, it delivers a high modulus for excellent stiffness and dimensional stability, making it ideal for functional prototypes and end-use parts. Key Performance Features High Modulus & Strength: The carbon fiber reinforcement provides outstanding rigidity and mechanical strength, suitable for demanding engineering applications. Heat Resistance: Maintains structural integrity at elevated temperatures, making it suitable for parts exposed to heat or requiring thermal stability. Annealing is required for higher heat resistance. Moisture Insensitivity: Unlike many engineering filaments, Fiberon™ PET-CF17 is less sensitive to moisture, ensuring consistent print quality and reducing the need for pre-drying. Easy to Print: Offers smooth extrusion and reliable bed adhesion, making it accessible to users with standard high-temperature FDM/FFF 3D printers equipped with a hardened nozzle. Ideal for Engineering Applications Perfect for automotive, aerospace, robotics, and industrial parts where strength, durability, and precision are essential. Choose Fiberon™ PET-CF17 for your engineering projects when you need a composite material that combines high strength, heat resistance, moisture insensitivity, and reliable, easy printing.
