PLA-CF

Overview

PLA-CF reaches a 5700 MPa flexural modulus — exceptional stiffness — while printing as easily as standard PLA: 190–230°C nozzle, no chamber, broad printer compatibility.

An 80°C HDT (notably higher than plain PLA) makes it a strong choice for rigid jigs, fixtures and validation prototypes, though it is not intended for prolonged high-temperature use.

Key Properties

Typical datasheet values; printed parts are anisotropic and XY-direction values are shown unless noted.
