HTPLA Carbon Fiber Proto-Pasta 1,75 mm

HTPLA COMPOSITE CARBON FIBER is a high performance filament that offers the engineering performance with the ease and environmental friendliness of PLA.

Description

HTPLA COMPOSITE CARBON FIBER filament contains a number of advantages that make it a unique filament in PLA material

• Easier and more reliable 3D printing.
• No heated bed required.
• 3D printing temperature like standard PLA.
• Less deformation and distortion during 3D printing.
• Higher temperature resistance to maintain properties at higher temperatures.
• Higher strength and better strength-to-weight ratio for stronger parts with less material.
• Improved surface hardness for less wear in abrasive environments.
• Reduced shrinkage and distortion for more accurate parts.
• Increased rigidity for parts that hold their shape.
• Improved strength for less breakage during handling and easier processing.
• Higher HDT when heat treated to maintain properties at higher temperatures (above 140C (285F) depending on processing.

HTPLA COMPOSITE CARBON FIBER COMPOSITE provides improved temperature resistance by heat treating in an oven.

The process begins by heat treating the 3D printed part in an oven at 110C (225F) for one hour. We recommend leaving the supports on the parts, placing them on a non-radiating surface (such as glass, ceramic or composite) and allowing them to cool in the oven to minimise warping.

The parts must be baked above 60°C for any crystallisation to occur.

Characteristics

HTPLA COMPOSITE CARBON FIBER requires hardened steel nozzles or similar, as it produces excessive wear like other fiber filaments in brass nozzles.
