FDM material
PA612-CF (Carbon Fiber Nylon 6,12) 3D Printing
Carbon-fiber PA612 sits between PA6 and PA12: stronger and more heat-resistant than PA12-CF, with lower moisture uptake than PA6-CF. A balanced high-end composite for parts that need both strength and stable dimensions.

PA612-CF: common questions
What is PA612-CF good for?
PA612-CF is a common choice for industrial tooling, structural end-use parts, automotive brackets, precision fixtures. Carbon-fiber PA612 sits between PA6 and PA12: stronger and more heat-resistant than PA12-CF, with lower moisture uptake than PA6-CF. A balanced high-end composite for parts that need both strength and stable dimensions.
How strong and heat-resistant is PA612-CF?
Printed PA612-CF parts have a typical tensile strength of 85–100 MPa and heat resistance of ~160 °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 PA612-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.
