CARBONX PEEKCF10

CarbonX™ PEEK+CF10

CarbonX™ PEEK+CF10 is one of the premier polymers in FFF/FDM 3D Printing. Made using 10% high-modulus chopped carbon fiber for exceptional stiffness, strength, and dimensional stability.

PEEK+CF10 is one of the highest performance thermoplastics ever invented. It is used in some of the most demanding applications by industries such as Auto, Aerospace, Defense, Semi-conductor, and Oil/Gas. Engineers depend on PEEK for applications where failure is not an option.

Typical PEEK+CF10 Applications Include:

Seals, Gears, Bushings, Bearings, Pump, and Compressor Components. Industries served: Auto, Aerospace, Defense, Semi-conductor, Oil & Gas.

Printing with CarbonX™ PEEK+CF10

PEEK has a melt temperature (Tm) of 343°C, therefore you will need an all-metal extruder capable of reaching (and holding) temps upwards of 400°C or more depending on your specific printer. Every printer, slicer, and printing environment is different and you will need to tinker to find a process which works for you.

Important: always ensure the nozzle is fully purged and clear of PEEK at the end of printing. Leaving PEEK in the nozzle when it cools can result in black specks in prints and severe nozzle clogs which are difficult to clear.
