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.
