Beskrivelse
Azurefilm PET Carbon Fiber 500g
AzureFilm PET CF er det nemmeste at printe PET-materiale fyldt med carbonfiber, som du vil kunne finde på markedet. De fleste virksomheder har carbonfibermalet inde i strukturen. Vores PET CF har en hakket carbonfiberforstærket struktur, hvilket gør dets slagsevne meget stærkere. Dette hakket carbonfiberkomposit skubber eksisterende bestræbelser og begrænsninger for forskning af et ingeniørkvalitets 3D-udskrivningstråd til nye grænser. Tråden har fremragende mekaniske egenskaber uden krigning inklusive ekstrem styrke i z-lag og lav vandoptagelse.
Vores PET CF er fyldt med 15% carbonfiber og har en kortvarig (maks. 3 timer) maksimal temperatur på op til 125°C. Den kan nemt klare sig ved 100°C i 10 timer eller mere. Tykkelsen af fibrene indeni varierer fra 0,4 mm til 0,6 mm, derfor skal dyse diameteren være 0,6 mm.
Fiber reinforced composites offer exceptional mechanical properties. In addition to typical composite driving factors such as fiber orientation, fiber volume and way of stacking, scientist have found out that printing parameters such as infill density, nozzle speed, layer thickness, nozzle type, infill pattern, built orientation, bed temperatures have shown to influence mechanical properties.
Azurefilm PET Carbon Fiber 500g Used for:
- Extremely smooth surface finish allows printability of functional prototypes
- Since it has exceptional mechanical properties it can be used for various fixtures, tooling, composite moulds for various manufacturing processes or self use
- In general its light weight, is key advantage for weight reduction, without loosing performance-grade strenght
- Compared to PLA, ABS, PETG or even other Carbon reinforced materials it can withstand significantly higher temperatures. Short term temp. (max. 3hrs) is enhanced up to 125°C
- High stiffness of the fibers themselves allow 3D printed parts to maintain their shape under high stress
Significant advantages of AzureFilm PET CF filaments:
- Cost effective – since we are using chopped up carbon fibers there is significant reduction in production length, allowing us to make our material cost friendly for any customer
- Higher temperature resistance up to 125°C
- More dimensional stability – Chopped carbon fibers are extremely strong and not only give high strenght and stiffness but also help prevent shrinking as the part is in the cooling down faze
Requirements to work with PET CF filaments:
- Heated print bed
- Hardened nozzle – Due to its abrasive structure, filament will wear down standard brass nozzle over a short period of time. Abrasion resistant nozzle is requirement for this type of filament. Since those type of nozzles tend to be less conductive then standard nozzles, usually higher extruder temperatures are recommended
- Heated filament chamber (optional) – Having the filament all the time in dry place, with working temp. ready is an optional thing to ensure consistently controlled environment for best product quality
- Closed environment (optional) – Ensuring consistent controlled environment is very important factor that allows better end class quality of the product allthough this filament has ability to be 3D printed on non-heated chamber machines
