Ultrafuse® PET CF15
Combines Easy Processability and very Low Moisture Uptake with Excellent Strength and Rigidity – at an Affordable Cost
Ultrafuse® PET CF15 is a polyethylene terephthalate reinforced with 15% carbon fiber. This engineering filament is easier to process than other carbon fiber reinforced filaments. Users will be able to 3D-print new components that remain fully functional under higher mechanical and thermal loads.
Description
Ultrafuse® PET CF15 is an engineering filament optimized to enable users to develop new 3D printing applications with higher requirements. With its superior heat resistance, high strength and rigidity, this is a filament for a wide range of demanding industrial applications. Its high dimensional stability and very low moisture uptake makes it a perfect solution for applications in humid operating environments.
