PETG-CF 3D Printing in Easton, PA: Stiff, Lightweight Parts

PETG-CF is PETG filled with short carbon fibers. It is stiffer and prints with less warp than plain PETG, with a matte, technical finish, and it is a good middle step before moving to carbon-fiber nylon.

Where it earns its keep

• Lightweight brackets, arms, and frames for drones, RC vehicles, and camera and sensor mounts.

• Shop jigs, fixtures, and gauges that need to hold their shape.

• Equipment brackets that must not flex, such as motor mounts, inspection fixtures, and tooling plates.

• Enclosures that benefit from a stiff, matte, non-glossy look.

Honest limits

The carbon fibers make it stiffer but also more brittle, and it is abrasive, so it is a fit for rigid parts rather than snap-fits. Heat resistance is similar to PETG. For hotter environments we suggest PA-CF or PAHT-CF.
