Ultimaker PET CF Material
PET CF Material – For Printing Parts with Strength, Stiffness, and Durability
UltiMaker PET CF is a composite material that is much easier to print than other carbon fiber-based materials while still retaining excellent performance properties. These can be further enhanced by annealing your printed part to greatly improve the strength, stiffness, thermal, and chemical resistance of your finished model.
Key features
- PET CF is easier to print than most composites.
- It is more resistant to moisture and when kept in an UltiMaker Material Station, it should remain dry.
- Unlike other composite materials, PET CF is also available in multiple colors: black, blue, and gray.
- PET CF is compatible with UltiMaker support materials (PVA and Breakaway) giving full geometric freedom when designing parts.
- Parts printed with PET CF can be annealed to improve their temperature resistance from 80 °C to a phenomenal 181 °C, as well as increasing their strength by 30% and stiffness by 10%. All of this can be done using the recommended and validated BINDER FP115 programmable oven.
