FDM / MATERIAL PROFILE

PPA-CF

PPA-CF is a fibre-reinforced material for projects that combine temperature, dimensional accuracy and mechanical loads.

Base plastic: polyphthalamide

Illustrative PPA-CF component
YOUR POSSIBILITIES

Typical applications

Rigid assembly fixtures, heat-exposed brackets and compact technical functional parts.

YOUR BENEFITS

Why PPA-CF?

PPA and carbon fibres offer high stiffness and strong performance for demanding operating conditions.

Performance profile

Continuous service temperature up to
150 °C
Heat deflection temperature (HDT)
up to 200 °C
Tensile strength
up to 106.87 MPa
Tensile modulus
up to 6,736.18 MPa

Ideas for your application

Automation, toolmaking and industrial development, for example gripper components and assembly mounts.

Surface and appearance

A matt surface with a technical fibre character.

Designing your part to fit

Direct load paths into the stronger print directions. Generous radii and broad seating surfaces support load transfer.

Finishing and post-processing

Mounting holes and mating surfaces can be finish-machined. Final dimensions are checked in the defined moisture and heat-treatment condition.
