CarbonX™ PEEK+CF20 is one of the premier polymers in FFF/FDM 3D Printing. Made using 20% high-modulus chopped carbon fiber for exceptional stiffness, strength, and dimensional stability.
PEEK+CF20 is one of the highest performance thermoplastics ever invented. It is used in some of the most demanding applications by industries such as Auto, Aerospace, Defense, Semi-conductor, and Oil/Gas. Engineers depend on PEEK for applications where failure is not an option.
Seals, Gears, Bushings, Bearings, Pump, and Compressor Components
Industries served: Auto, Aerospace, Defense, Semi-conductor, Oil & Gas
PEEK has a melt temperature (Tm) of 343°C, therefore, you will need an all-metal extruder capable of reaching (and holding) temps upwards of 400°C or more depending on your specific printer. Every printer, slicer, and printing environment is different and you will need to tinker to find a process which works for you. One of the more difficult aspects of printing with PEEK was getting it to stick to the build plate.
Please note: PEEK+CF20 has a tendency to stick to metal (PEEK loves metal). Make sure to purge out your extruder completely before it cools down or you run the risk permanent clogs. Seriously, we know this first hand.
This material is particularly abrasive among 3D printing filaments. Users may find standard brass nozzles are chewed through very quickly compared to standard wear and tear. When worn through, the nozzle diameter will widen inconsistently and the printer will experience extrusion issues.
Because of this, it’s strongly recommended this material be printed through a hardened steel nozzle rather than a softer metal. Hardened steel nozzles can often be inexpensive and easily installed depending on your printer manufacturer’s instructions.
Fibers 5-10 micrometers wide made of carbon. The fibers are aligned following the axis of the material.
This, along with their physical makeup, are what give this material its excellent properties.
Carbon Fibers demonstrate a lot of desirable material properties:
Reinforcing plastic with carbon fibers produces a 3D printing filament which exhibits the best properties of both the carbon fibers and the plastic of choice.
Ideal for any applications which require light weight and rigidity.
Carbon fiber reinforced parts, designed to use less material and save weight, is extremely popular in aerospace, civil engineering, the military, and motorsports.
