Carbon-fibre PLA: stiffer, matte surface, technical look. In the heat it is still PLA, up to 55 °C.
PLA-CF is carbon-fibre filled PLA. It boosts stiffness and dimensional stability compared to pure PLA while keeping easy printability. Suited for aesthetic technical parts, mounts and display models.

Directional properties (XY vs Z). Like all FDM materials, it is stronger in the print plane (XY) than across layers (Z). We orient the part to the load.
Send us a photo, a sketch or the broken part. We design it and give you STEP and STL files to print on your own printer, or we print it for you.
