Pellet PLA Carbon

Spectrum FGF Pellet PLA Carbon

Highest quality PLA enriched with carbon fibers

Spectrum Pellet PLA Carbon is a high-quality PLA material for 3D printing designed for large-format 3D printers using FGF technology. The main advantage of 3D printers that enable printing directly from pellets is characterized by higher efficiency as compared to printing with use of traditional filaments, which results in significantly reduced time required for models’ production. Regardless of whether you create prototypes or produce large-scale models, our pellets will meet your needs.

Spectrum FGF Pellet PLA Carbon is a product enriched with 10% carbon fiber, ensuring an increase in stiffness, hardness and tensile strength while maintaining low shrinkage and very good adhesion to working platforms typical of PLA. The addition of carbon fiber allows the user to obtain matte surfaces of the printed elements, which increases the aesthetic value of the finished models.

Tip: Due to significant content of crushed carbon fiber, it is recommended to use nozzles with a diameter larger than 0.4 mm. In addition, the presence of carbon fiber may cause brass nozzles to wear out, so when using Spectrum Pellet PLA Carbon for a long time, you should pay attention to whether the extruder used has stainless steel or ruby nozzles.

Material characteristics

  • improved hardness and rigidity as compared to the pure PLA
  • higher plasticisation temperature
  • improved abrasion resistance
  • much higher compression resistance
  • good mechanical properties
  • high aesthetic, matte surface quality
  • no shrinkage after cooling

Applications

  • items which need to be very rigid and hard while maintaining dimensional accuracy
  • manufacturing of spacer components subject to static compressive loads
  • concept and demo prototyping of designed finished and semi-finished products
  • ornamental parts (aesthetic properties)
  • external structural components which emphasise the product
  • prototyping
