PA-CF
PA-CF is a versatile fibre-reinforced material for custom functional parts that need to be stiff and lightweight.
Base plastic: polyamide
Typical applications
Gripper parts, assembly holders, adapters and functional housings for machinery and fixtures.
Why PA-CF?
A nylon base and fibre filling combine mechanical capability with high dimensional stability and a textured surface.
Performance profile
- Heat deflection temperature (HDT)
- up to 147 °C
- Tensile strength
- up to 63 MPa
- Elongation at break
- up to 3 %
- Tensile modulus
- up to 3,800 MPa
Ideas for your application
Automation, robotics, test equipment manufacture and industrial product development.
Surface and appearance
A finely fibrous, matt surface with a technical character.
Designing your part to fit
Provide generous support for fixings and align print orientation with the load. Avoid small notches and thin tabs.
Finishing and post-processing
Fitted seats and holes can be post-processed. Final dimensional inspection takes place in the specified moisture condition.
