Xenia, global player in engineering and manufacturing reinforced thermoplastic composites for injection molding and additive manufacturing, recently announced the launch of XECARB® PA12-CF-ST, a new carbon fiber reinforced filament for FFF/FDM 3D printing.
Developed on a PA12 (Nylon 12) matrix, XECARB® PA12-CF-ST delivers high strength, excellent abrasion resistance and low moisture absorption, while the 15% carbon fiber reinforcement allows it to achieve high mechanical performances, lightness and dimensional stability.
Xenia’s proprietary Super Tough (ST) Upgrade significantly enhances impact resistance and elongation at break, allowing the material to withstand shocks and mechanical stress without compromising its lightweight nature. With a Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) of 150 °C, the filament also ensures reliable performance and precision for functional components, making it ideal for demanding structural 3D printing applications.
Thanks to this combination of mechanical performance, lightness and processability, XECARB® PA12-CF-ST is suited for automotive, aerospace, industrial and consumer goods applications requiring structural capability, fatigue resistance and long-term durability in demanding environments.
