Description
Creatbot PET CF is an advanced engineering filament specifically developed for FDM 3D printing, combining PET polymer with carbon fiber reinforcement. This high-performance PET-CF material offers exceptional mechanical properties, excellent dimensional stability, and superior heat resistance after annealing, making it ideal for demanding industrial applications without requiring a heated chamber.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Exceptional Strength & Stiffness: Carbon fiber reinforcement provides high tensile strength (87 MPa) and outstanding modulus (6025 MPa)
-
Superior Heat Resistance: Annealing dramatically increases HDT from 80°C to 149°C for high-temperature applications
-
Excellent Dimensional Stability: Minimal warping and shrinkage during printing without heated chamber
-
Low Moisture Absorption: Maintains properties better than nylon-based composites
-
Chemical Resistance: Withstands exposure to various chemicals and environmental factors

Critical Printing Guidelines
Moisture Management:
-
Store in dry environment (<15% RH)
-
Dry at 100°C for 6-8 hours before printing
-
Vacuum seal for long-term storage
Annealing Process:
-
Temperature: 100°C for 8 hours
-
Methods: Standard plate or sand bath annealing
-
Result: HDT increases from 80°C to 149°C
Hardware Requirements:
-
Hardened steel nozzle essential for abrasive resistance
-
External spool holder recommended to prevent breakage
-
Maintain minimum 110° bend radius in filament path
