Prusament PP Carbon Fiber is a technical polypropylene filament reinforced with recycled carbon fibers, developed by Prusa Research for 3D printing functional parts that demand thermal resistance, dimensional stability, and advanced chemical tolerance. Manufactured under strict quality standards, it offers a precise dimensional tolerance of ±0.04 mm, ideal for industrial applications and professional prototyping.

This filament for FDM 3D printing provides excellent chemical resistance to solvents, non-oxidizing bases, oils, and acids, making it an ideal choice for sectors such as automotive, laboratory, mechanical engineering, and aerospace. Its lightweight structure and improved rigidity make it perfect for printing components subjected to thermal or chemical stresses without the risk of deformation.

Unlike pure polypropylene, Prusament PP Carbon Fiber allows for printing large parts without the need for an enclosure, thanks to its high dimensional stability. Its matte black surface offers an attractive and professional visual finish, while its non-hygroscopic nature avoids drying processes, optimizing time and productivity.

To achieve maximum performance, the use of a hardened nozzle is required due to the material's abrasiveness, as well as a specific printing sheet for PP to ensure optimal adhesion to the bed. Although layer adhesion is slightly lower than with pure PP, its structural, thermal, and aesthetic advantages position it as a premium material in advanced manufacturing environments.

Printing with Prusament PP Carbon Fiber requires proper setup to achieve optimal results, as it is a technical material with a specific formulation based on polypropylene reinforced with carbon fiber. This filament combines lightness, thermal stability, and chemical resistance, but it needs certain conditions to achieve correct bed adhesion and uniform extrusion.

Recommended 3D printer configuration

For working with this material, an extruder temperature of 270 ± 10 °C and a bed temperature of 85 ± 10 °C are recommended. Although an enclosure is not needed, the use of a hardened nozzle is mandatory due to the high abrasiveness of the carbon fibers. The printing speed can be kept high without compromising model quality, provided correct layer adhesion is maintained.

Print surface and preparation

One of the keys to successful printing with Prusament PP Carbon Fiber is choosing a print surface compatible with polypropylene. The best option is to use a specific sheet for PP, developed to maximize adhesion without the need for additional tapes or complex treatments. Failing that, a smooth PEI sheet covered with PP tape can be used, although this method may leave adhesive residue and requires more preparation.

Before printing, the surface should be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol (IPA) using an unscented paper towel. Cleaning is most effective when the bed is cold, although it can also be done when hot, always with caution to avoid burns or premature evaporation of the alcohol. Another valid alternative is to use warm water with a few drops of dish soap, or denatured alcohol.

Post-processing of printed parts

The material allows for simple mechanical post-processing with tools such as sandpaper, blades, or abrasives. Although not essential, wet sanding is recommended to reduce exposure to fine airborne particles, especially in enclosed environments. Thanks to the thermal resistance of PP, the material does not easily deform due to heat generated during sanding or cutting, which facilitates finishing edges and surfaces.
