FDM material
PA11-CF (Carbon Fiber Nylon 11) 3D Printing
Carbon-fiber reinforced bio-based PA11. Combines CF stiffness with PA11's toughness, so parts are less brittle than most CF composites and cope better with impact and vibration.

PA11-CF: common questions
What is PA11-CF good for?
PA11-CF is a common choice for vibration-loaded mounts, sporting goods, drone & rc structures, impact-tolerant brackets. Carbon-fiber reinforced bio-based PA11. Combines CF stiffness with PA11's toughness, so parts are less brittle than most CF composites and cope better with impact and vibration.
How strong and heat-resistant is PA11-CF?
Printed PA11-CF parts have a typical tensile strength of 65–85 MPa and heat resistance of ~140 °C. These are typical values for printed parts in the XY direction; strength between layers is lower, so orientation matters for loaded parts.
How big a part can you print in PA11-CF, and how fast?
Up to 350 × 320 × 325 mm in one piece; larger parts are printed in sections and joined, after a review. Production takes 2-5 business days, and rush service is available.
