Carbon Fiber - Composite Filament
Maximum stiffness at low weight for demanding functional parts.

About the material
Carbon-fiber composites (most commonly PLA-CF, PETG-CF, PA-CF, or ABS-CF) include short carbon fibers that significantly increase stiffness and reduce weight. Properties: - High stiffness-to-weight ratio - Matte technical surface finish - Abrasive to standard brass nozzles; hardened steel nozzle recommended Best for: RC and drone parts, technical brackets, lightweight structural components. Related: Nylon, ABS, Hardened Nozzle, Filament.
Pros
- ✓Excellent stiffness and strength at low weight
- ✓Professional matte surface finish
- ✓Great for technical and structural applications
Cons
- ✗Requires hardened steel nozzle due to abrasion
- ✗Higher cost and more limited color availability
Best for
- •RC and drone frames
- •Technical brackets
- •Jigs and fixtures
- •Metal-part replacement
