02 Oct CarbonFil Filaments from FormFutura
CarbonFil™ is a light-weight and incredibly stiff carbon fibre reinforced filament. Our CarbonFil™ filament is based upon a unique blend of our HDglass™ compound reinforced with 20% ultra-light and relatively long stringer carbon fibres, which has resulted in an exceptionally stiff carbon fibre 3D printer filament.
By making use of ultra-lightweight and relatively long carbon fibre stringers we have managed to make our CarbonFil™ twice as stiff as our HDglass™ compound and yet we still managed to increase its impact strength with more than 10%. Usually an upturn in a material’s stiffness will have a downturn on its impact strength. With CarbonFil™ we managed to increase both these parameters and by that it can truly be called a tough material.
Adding such a relatively high percentage of 20% long stringer carbon fibres into our CarbonFil™ compound also has resulted in a relatively high heat deflection temperature of 85°C and very good dimensional stability properties.
The CarbonFil™ compound combines quite a few unique properties into a 3D printer filament and still one of the most important properties hasn’t been named yet, namely its printer friendliness. CarbonFil™ outperforms any other carbon filament when it comes to printability of the filament.
