PLA Carbon Filament – Black – 0.500 kg Spectrum

PLA Carbon Filament – Black – 0.500 kg Spectrum

PLA Carbon is a modified PLA-based filament blended with carbon fibers, which contributes to significantly higher stiffness, rigidity and tensile strength, while retaining the low shrinkage and very good adhesion to build platforms characteristic of PLA.

Improved hardness and rigidity

PLA Carbon is a modified PLA-based filament blended with carbon fibers that contributes to significantly higher stiffness, rigidity and tensile strength, while retaining the low shrinkage and very good adhesion to build platforms characteristic of pure PLA. The addition of 10% carbon fibre allows you to obtain matt surfaces on printed products, which greatly improves the aesthetic properties of the printed products.

Tip: Due to the substantial carbon fibre content, it is recommended to use nozzles with a diameter exceeding the standard value of 0.4 mm. The presence of carbon fibre can also cause wear to the brass nozzles, therefore the use of stainless steel nozzles is recommended for continuous application of Spectrum Carbon PLA.

Key Features:

• improved hardness and toughness compared to pure PLA
• higher plasticizing temperature
• improved wear resistance
• much higher pressure resistance
• good mechanical properties
• high aesthetic, matt surface quality
• lack of shrinkage after cooling

Applications:

products that must be very rigid and stiff while maintaining dimensional accuracy
manufacture of spacer components subjected to static compressive loads
conceptual and demonstration prototyping of designed finished and semi-finished products
decorative parts (aesthetic properties)
external structural components that highlight the product
prototyping
