Bambu PA6-GF – glass fibre reinforced nylon

Bambu PA6-GF, also known as glass fibre nylon 6, is at the forefront of high performance engineering plastics. It is designed to provide exceptional strength, durability, dimensional stability. PA6-GF is also more cost-effective compared to other high-end engineering filaments.

 

Designed for long-lasting use

The Bambu PA6-GF is extremely strong and durable thanks to its reinforced glass fibers, making it an ideal choice for prints that need to withstand heavy use and resist bending or breaking.

* Note: The printed part achieves better strength after exposure to moisture.

Dimensional stability

PA6-GF features unparalleled dimensional stability thanks to its glass fiber reinforcement, which minimizes deformation compared to standard PA filaments. Print to exact dimensions, even with the most complex geometries.

Exceptional thermal properties

PA6-GF features a high heat distortion temperature and superior dimensional stability, allowing it to retain its mechanical properties even at elevated temperatures. This makes it ideal for demanding industrial and automotive applications.

Heat deflection temperature/℃ (0.45 MPa)	57 ℃	87 ℃	89 ℃	117 ℃	182 ℃	186 ℃	194 ℃	205 ℃

 

Chemical resistance

PA6-GF offers excellent resistance to chemicals, oils and many types of solvents, ensuring long-term performance in challenging environments.

Smooth surface and more colours

Bambu PA6-GF filaments are compatible with the Bambu AMS system and are ready for multi-colour printing. The special surface texture also blurs the layer lines, providing a smooth surface.

RFID for smart printing

All print parameters are embedded in the RFID, which can be read via our AMS (Automatic Material System).

Load and print! No more tedious setup steps.

Printing tips

– Bambu PA6-GF needs proper drying before printing: the recommended drying temperature is 80℃ for 8 to 12 hours in a shock dryer or 90 to 100℃ for 10 to 12 hours on a heat bed. (Do not exceed 100℃ because the spool may deform or even melt). For more details, please refer to: WIKI engineering printing tips.

– To prevent moisture absorption by the filaments, it is recommended that an airtight storage container with desiccant be used during printing. For more details, please see: WIKI Engineering Printing Tips.

– To minimize distortion, avoid printing models with large sizes and high fill densities. Use enclosed printers and make sure the build plate is properly applied with adhesive to better bond the print before printing.

– For better printing results and more details, please see: WIKI Engineering Printing Tips.

Tips for post-processing

– We recommend that you remove the support structures within 2 hours of printing to prevent them from sticking after absorbing moisture. If sticking occurs, dry the model to facilitate removal.

– Placing the printed part in a convection oven set at a temperature between 80 and 130 degrees Celsius for 5 to 12 hours can further improve the strength and hardness of the print. Note: The effectiveness of this process depends on the structure, size and conditions of the printed pattern. Some patterns may warp or deform after annealing. For more details, please refer to Working after printing is complete in WIKI.
