Nylon CF Slide Ultimaker Filament Black for Wear-Resistant Parts and Moving Mechanisms

UltiMaker Nylon CF Slide is a composite filament for FDM printing, designed for the production of wear-resistant equipment elements, dry sliding assemblies, and functional prototypes with high tensile strength and low friction coefficient. The material is based on a polyamide 6/12 copolymer reinforced with carbon fiber. Due to its abrasion resistance and ability to withstand temperatures up to 180°C after thermal annealing, this plastic is an effective alternative to aluminum and fluoroplastic parts in industrial mechanisms.

Main Advantages of Nylon CF Slide Ultimaker Plastic

• Wear resistance and low friction coefficient. The material demonstrates a low sliding friction coefficient of 0.18 relative to stainless steel, as well as minimal wear intensity with a mass loss of only 0.045 grams according to the Taber test. These indicators allow it to be used for the production of friction assemblies, sliding bearings, and other moving elements where it is important to ensure smooth operation and a long service life without surface degradation.
• Carbon fiber reinforcement. The inclusion of 15% carbon fiber provides a high modulus of elasticity and stiffness of finished products. The composite demonstrates geometric dimensional stability under static and dynamic loads, minimizing bending deformation compared to non-reinforced polymers.
• Thermal and chemical resistance. With a melting temperature of 210°C and the ability to increase hardness to 76D through annealing, the material is suitable for use in high-temperature conditions. The polyamide matrix also provides resistance to automotive and industrial oils, fuels, and solvents.

Characteristics of UltiMaker Nylon CF Slide 3D Plastic

Technical Features

• Use of abrasion-resistant nozzle. Since the material is reinforced with carbon fiber, a nozzle made of hardened steel, tungsten, or with a ruby tip is required for working with it. Ordinary brass nozzles wear out quickly, leading to an increase in their internal diameter and deterioration in print quality.
• Mandatory drying before printing. The nylon matrix is highly hygroscopic — it actively absorbs moisture from the air. It is recommended to perform thermal drying of the material at a temperature of 80°C for 16 hours. During printing, the filament should be stored in a sealed box with a low humidity level. Printing with wet plastic leads to the appearance of pores, strings, and a significant reduction in interlayer adhesion strength.
