Perfect for industrial, automotive, and creative projects requiring strength, flexibility, and heat resistance.

Key Benefits:

Who Is It For?

Whether you’re an industrial manufacturer, engineer, or 3D printing enthusiast, TPU CF is your go-to material for projects requiring strength, flexibility, and durability. Ideal for industries like automotive, aerospace, robotics, and electronics, or for anyone seeking premium material for their creative projects.

When to Choose TPU CF:

Applications:

Printing:

TPU CF is optimized for FDM/FFF printing with excellent layer adhesion and minimal warping. Use a direct drive extruder for best results. A hardened nozzle is essential due to the abrasive nature of carbon fibers. TPU CF is moderately moisture-sensitive and should be dried before printing.

Quality Assurance:

Each spool is precisely wound and vacuum-packed with a desiccant to maintain quality. Our TPU CF filament features consistent diameter tolerance of 1.75mm +/- 0.03mm for reliable performance.

Post-Processing:

Due to its excellent interlayer adhesion, TPU CF requires minimal post-processing. Its wear resistance and flexibility make it ideal for ready-to-use parts.

Storage:

Store in a dry, dark place in an airtight bag with a desiccant. Dry the filament in a filament dryer or oven at 50°C for 6-12 hours before use to ensure optimal performance.

Packaging:

Available in 50g, 250g, 400g, 1kg, 2.4kg, 5kg, and 10kg spools. Contact us at [email protected] for orders of larger spools in specific colors.

Printing Recommendations:

PET-CF requires elevated temperatures and an abrasive-resistant setup. A full metal hot end and hardened nozzle are essential. A closed chamber is recommended, but not strictly necessary. For bed adhesion, standard PET adhesives can be used. Due to potential shrinkage, it’s best to design parts with rounded edges to minimize warping stress. For optimal results, consider using an air filtration system to handle any printing fumes.

** Recommended settings serve as a starting point for optimal print configuration. Although they typically work for most printers, we recommend experimenting beyond these parameters based on the specific characteristics of your printer.

FAQ:

What should I know before printing TPU CF?

Use a direct drive extruder and a hardened nozzle. Dry the filament before printing for the best results.

Is TPU CF compatible with multi-material systems?

No, TPU CF is not compatible with AMS systems.

Do you offer recycling options for failed prints?

Currently, we do not have recycling options, but we are working to implement them in the near future.
