Material overview
PA12-CF is nylon reinforced with chopped carbon fiber for an outstanding stiffness-to-weight ratio, high strength and good thermal performance. Fibers align with the laser path, giving directional stiffness that engineers can exploit in orientation. Deep matte black with a fine textured surface, it is ideal for drone and robotics arms, end-of-arm tooling, aerospace brackets and motorsport parts. ESD-safe grades are available.
Highlights
- Modulus ~5000 MPa — very high stiffness
- Low density ~1.05 — light & rigid
- Directional fiber alignment
- ESD-safe grades available
