In the first part of our series on carbon fiber 3D printing, we really only just got started by providing a background on the material, some of its properties, and how it’s made. Now that that’s out of the way, we can get to the fun stuff: how carbon fiber is currently available in the 3D printing industry.

Carbon Fiber Filaments
.
The most widely accessible form of carbon fiber in 3D printing is chopped carbon fiber filament. There are a wide variety of chopped carbon fiber blends available, with 3DXTECH offering some of the most diverse types that include high temperature thermoplastics as the matrix material. For instance, it’s possible to buy, PA, PEKK, PEEK , and PEI (ULTEM) filaments filled with chopped carbon fiber. A manifold made with Innofil3D PET carbon fiber reinforced filament by FFF. In chopped carbon fiber filament, segments of carbon fiber are mixed with […]
