Polymaker PolyLite PLA-CF Filament

Carbon fiber reinforcement adds significant strength and stiffness to the PLA filament. This makes the printed parts more robust and capable of withstanding higher stress and load-bearing applications compared to standard PLA.

Despite the increased strength, carbon fiber reinforced PLA remains relatively lightweight. This is advantageous for applications where both strength and weight are crucial factors, such as in aerospace or automotive industries.

The addition of carbon fiber can help mitigate common issues like warping and shrinking during the printing process. This improved dimensional stability is particularly useful for larger prints or parts with intricate geometries.

Carbon fiber reinforcement improves the heat resistance of PLA. This means that parts printed with carbon fiber reinforced PLA can withstand higher temperatures without deforming or losing structural integrity, opening up possibilities for applications that involve moderate heat exposure.
