Reinforced Nylon 11 CF with Carbon Fiber for SLS Printing
Nylon with carbon fiber Nylon 11 CF is a new material from Formlabs, supplied with the 3D printer Fuse 1+ 30W.
This is an engineering material based on Nylon 11, to which chopped carbon fiber has been added, allowing users to print rigid, strong, and lightweight parts directly in their workshop.
- Tensile strength (X) – 69 MPa
- Tensile modulus (X) – up to 5300 MPa
- Material refresh rate – 30%
Applications of Nylon 11 CF
Use Nylon 11 CF for printing finished parts and prototypes that require high rigidity, excellent strength, and lightness:
- Functional composite prototypes.
- Tooling, clamping, and fastening devices.
- Spare parts and metal part replacements.
- Impact-resistant equipment.
Note that Nylon 11 CF powder requires a sieve with a cell size of 300 microns Sift 300 Sieve.
