Raise3D Industrial PA12 CF+ is a carbon fiber reinforced composite filament material based on Nylon 12 (Polyamide 12). Industrial PA12 CF+ is reinforced with short carbon fiber giving it excellent rigidity, strength, heat resistance, low warpage, and low water absorption. This material’s outstanding strength-to-weight ratio makes it a suitable replacement for metal when manufacturing certain lightweight components.

Highlights

• Outstanding stiffness and strength
• Excellent heat resistance
• High hardness
• Less warp and water uptake

This filament is compatible with Raise3D Industrial PA12 CF Support Filament for the Raise3D E2-CF.

Recommended Print Settings

• Nozzle temperature (°C): 260-290℃
• Bed temperature (°C): 60℃
• Layer height (mm): 0.15-0.25 mm (with 0.4mm nozzle)
• Printing speed (mm/s): 35-100 mm/s
• Cooling fan: On
• Drying temperature (°C): 70-80℃ (with 1.0-2.0kW heating or drying oven)

Printing Notes:

• Dry PA12 CF+ at 80°C for 12 hours before printing, as having low moisture content is crucial for the quality of the final printed part.
• Store PA12 CF+ filament inside Raise3D Filament Dry Box during printing to ensure the filament keeps its properties.
• Brass nozzles are subject to significant abrasion when printing with PA12 CF+. Using an abrasion-resistant nozzle, at minimum a Steel nozzle should be used or preferably, a SiC nozzle.
• After printing, it is recommended to anneal the model with support structure in the oven at 80-100°C for 8-12 hours.
• For a small size model (side length <50 mm), annealing at 80°C for 8 hours is recommended; For a medium-size model (50mm<side length <150 mm), annealing at 80°C for 12 hours is recommended; For a large size model, 100°C for at least 12 hours is recommended.
• PA12 CF+ can be used as self-supporting material on a model. Please remove the support structure after annealing.
