Carbon fiber-reinforced material with balanced properties and wide range of uses

The Hyper Core filament line is defined as a next-generation series of professional and industrial fiber-reinforced composite filaments for Hyper FFF®.

Fiber-reinforced composite filaments are the ideal material for end-use parts production and heavy-duty applications that require superior strength, stiff and heat resistance. However, printing fiber-reinforced filament at high speed brings many challenges, such as lower flowability and poorer interlayer bonding quality, as well as the quicker wearing-out of the nozzle.

To overcome these challenges, Raise3D’s Hyper Core ABS CF15 filament is specially developed utilizing special extrusion technology to form a fiber-rich inner core where most of the carbon fibers are well-aligned and distributed. During high-speed FFF printing, the outstanding heat conductivity of carbon-fiber core accelerates filament melting in the hot end. Moreover, the residual thermal energy of the fiber-rich inner core promotes the interlayer bonding of ABS across the adjacent lines to form a smooth and strong part. The Hyper Core ABS CF15 filament is designed for a fast-melting rate as well as balancing print quality, performance and cost.

Hyper Core ABS CF15 inherits excellent impact toughness, good chemical resistance and low moisture absorption of terpolymer ABS matrix. Moreover, special fiber distribution improves the Z-direction strength and stiffness, in addition to the prolonging the life of the nozzle. It is an ideal choice for volume production of industrial-grade applications where high performance, stability and efficiency are required.

Printing Guide

Recommended Print Settings

• Nozzle temperature (°C): 260-280℃
• Build platform temperature (°C): 70-90℃
• Layer height (mm): 0.2 mm
• Printing speed (mm/s): 50-300 mm/s
• Cooling fan: Off
• Drying temperature (°C): 60-80℃

Printing Notes:

• Abrasion of the brass nozzle happens frequently when printing with Hyper Core ABS CF15. Using an abrasion-resistant nozzle, at minimum a Steel nozzle should be used or preferably, a SiC nozzle.
• Drying isn’t usually necessary, but if so, it’s recommended to dry the filament at 60-80ºC for 6-8 hours to restore the printing quality of Raise3D Hyper Core ABS CF15.
• Please print in a well-ventilated environment.
