Description

Important Key Features: 

  • Superior Mechanical Properties: The addition of chopped carbon fibres improves the rigidity, stiffness, and wear resistance of carbon fibre 3D printing filament, making it perfect for tough engineering applications. 
  • Exceptional Thermal Resistance: TINMORRY PET-CF filament can withstand continuous use at temperatures of 80-110˚C (after annealing) without any deformation, outperforming standard PETG-CF filament in high-heat conditions. 
  • High Dimensional Stability: The carbon fibres reduce the warping and shrinkage typical of PET during printing, resulting in high-dimensional accuracy and perfect prints. 
  • Moisture Resistance: To avoid material absorption, it is recommended to use airtight storage containers with desiccant during printing, ensuring consistent results throughout your 3D printing projects. 
  • Wear-Resistant Nozzles: Due to the carbon content, we recommend using a wear-resistant steel nozzle (0.6mm recommended, 0.4mm capable) for optimal print quality and to avoid nozzle wear. 

Suitable Applications: 

  • Complex Mechanical Parts 
  • Functional Prototypes 
  • Engineering Components

What Sets TINMORRY PET-CF Apart from Others 

TINMORRY’s PET CF filament is designed for those seeking a material that combines the best of both worlds the easy printability of PET with the added strength and precision of carbon fibers. Unlike traditional filaments, this formulation offers exceptional mechanical properties and dimensional stability, making it ideal for creating high-performance prototypes and parts that must withstand extreme conditions. Whether you’re producing high-strength engineering components or precision prototypes, the material ensures reliable results every time. When used with a 3D carbon printer, it unlocks superior consistency, durability, and performance for complex and demanding 3D printing applications.  

Frequently Asked Questions

PET CF filament provides a strong, heat-resistant, and dimensionally stable printing material. Key benefits include: 

  • High tensile strength and stiffness due to carbon fiber reinforcement 
  • Minimal warping and excellent layer adhesion 
  • Good chemical resistance 
  • Less moisture sensitivity than Nylon CF 

However, printing PET CF filament requires: 

  • A hardened steel or ruby nozzle (carbon fiber is abrasive) 
  • Nozzle temp: 250-280°C 
  • Bed temp: 70-90°C 
  • Enclosure (optional but improves results) 

This filament is ideal for structural parts, jigs, and mechanical components that need long-term durability. 

PET-CF filament offers several key advantages: 

  • Exceptional mechanical properties: High tensile and flexural strength, stiffness, and impact resistance. 
  • High heat resistance: Maintains structural integrity at elevated temperatures (up to 150°C after annealing). 
  • Low moisture absorption: Ensures consistent performance even in humid environments. 
  • Dimensional stability: Minimal warping and shrinkage, making it suitable for precision parts. 
  • Chemical and UV resistance: Suitable for industrial, automotive, and outdoor applications. 

To print with PET-CF filament, use: 

  • A hardened steel nozzle (minimum 0.4-0.6 mm) due to the abrasive nature of carbon fibers. 
  • A full metal hot end to handle high print temperatures (typically 250-280°C). 
  • A heated bed (80–110°C) for optimal adhesion. 
  • An enclosed printer is recommended for the best results but not strictly required. 
  • Keep the filament dry before use to avoid print defects. 

PET CF filament is well-suited for a range of demanding applications that require strong, rigid, and thermally stable parts: 

  • Functional Prototypes: For testing designs that need to withstand real-world stress, heat, or chemicals. 
  • Jigs and Fixtures: Manufacturing aids that require high stiffness and wear resistance. 
  • Automotive Components: Under-the-hood parts, brackets, or custom interior elements that need to endure elevated temperatures and vibrations. 
  • Tooling: Durable tools or molds for various manufacturing processes. 
  • Drone and RC Parts: Lightweight yet strong structural components. 
  • Structural Components: Parts that need to bear significant loads or maintain dimensional accuracy under stress. 
  • Outdoor Applications: Due to good UV resistance (though check specific manufacturer data), it can be used for parts exposed to outdoor elements. 
  • Replacement Parts: For industrial machinery or consumer products where strength and heat resistance are critical.
