XECARB PA12-CF-ST

XECARB PA12-CF-ST technical filament for FFF/FDM 3D printing is based on PA12 polyamide (Nylon 12) reinforced with 15% carbon fiber. It has been developed for the manufacturing of lightweight, rigid, and dimensionally stable functional parts. Thanks to the Super Tough Upgrade (ST) technology by Xenia, this material combines high mechanical performance with a density of 1.06 g/cm³, while also offering excellent impact resistance even under demanding operating conditions.

The design of this carbon fiber PA12 filament achieves an optimal balance between lightness, stiffness, and toughness, enhancing the inherent properties of the PA12 matrix, such as low moisture absorption, high wear resistance, and dimensional reliability in environments with thermal variations. The combination of the PA12 polymer base, carbon fiber reinforcement, and ST technology increases both impact strength and elongation at break, providing superior mechanical behavior for functional components.

Thermal resistance and stability for industrial applications

From a thermal standpoint, PA12-CF filament for industrial 3D printing features a melting point of 180 °C and an HDT of 150 °C (1.80 MPa), making it an ideal solution for components subjected to combined thermal and mechanical stress.

These properties enable its use in the production of technical mounts, structural parts, and functional components in environments where stability under load is critical. The performance of carbon fiber reinforced PA12 for FDM/FFF ensures reliability even during prolonged working cycles.
