• Replacement parts for machinery

Its strength and rigidity make it suitable for both prototyping and end-use production parts.

Material & Compatibility

This filament is optimized for FDM/FFF 3D printers capable of processing engineering-grade materials such as nylon composites.

• Compatible with open-material systems
• Requires all-metal hotend for high-temperature printing
• Hardened steel or wear-resistant nozzle recommended due to abrasive carbon fiber

Printing Characteristics:

• Requires higher extrusion temperatures than PLA or PETG
• Heated bed required for proper adhesion
• Enclosure strongly recommended for best results
• Low moisture tolerance—dry filament before printing for optimal performance
• Reduced warping compared to pure nylon, but controlled environment still advised
