Description
3D META’s Carbon Fiber PLA filament combines the durability of carbon fiber with the ease of PLA printing, delivering a filament that is both strong and user-friendly. Crafted with high-quality polylactic acid (PLA) and reinforced with carbon fiber particles, this filament provides enhanced mechanical properties, making it ideal for creating robust and functional 3D prints. Our Carbon Fiber PLA filament excels in strength, rigidity, and dimensional accuracy, all while maintaining the simplicity of printing with PLA. Each spool is carefully manufactured under strict quality assurance standards, ensuring consistent, reliable, and high-performance results.
Key Features of Carbon Fiber PLA Filament:
-
Reinforced with Carbon Fiber: Our Carbon Fiber PLA filament is infused with carbon fiber particles, which significantly boost its strength and rigidity compared to standard PLA filament. This makes it suitable for parts that require high structural integrity and durability.
-
Enhanced Mechanical Properties: The inclusion of carbon fiber provides improved tensile strength and stiffness, allowing you to create parts that are both lightweight and strong. It is an excellent choice for functional prototypes and mechanical parts.
-
Exceptional Bed and Layer Adhesion: Experience reliable bed adhesion and excellent layer bonding with our Carbon Fiber PLA filament. This reduces the likelihood of warping and ensures smooth, consistent prints.
-
Easy to Print: Despite its enhanced properties, Carbon Fiber PLA remains easy to print, offering the familiar simplicity of PLA with the added benefits of increased strength. It feeds smoothly and adheres well to the print bed.
-
Manufactured Under Strict QA Procedures: Each spool of Carbon Fiber PLA filament is produced and tested under rigorous quality control standards to guarantee that you receive a product that is consistent and dependable.
Applications for Carbon Fiber PLA Filament:
Carbon Fiber PLA filament is versatile and well-suited for a variety of applications, particularly where enhanced strength and rigidity are required:
-
Functional Prototypes: Ideal for creating durable and robust prototypes that need to withstand mechanical stress, such as gears, brackets, and enclosures.
-
Mechanical Parts: Perfect for printing parts that require high strength and stiffness, such as custom tools, mounts, and support structures.
-
Architectural Models: The increased rigidity makes it a great choice for detailed architectural models that need to maintain structural integrity.
-
Custom Components: Use it to create custom components and parts for hobby projects or mechanical assemblies that require a balance of strength and lightweight properties.
Storage and Handling for Carbon Fiber PLA Filament:
Proper storage is essential to maintain the quality of Carbon Fiber PLA filament. Store it in a cool, dry place, and keep it in an airtight container or resealable bag with desiccants to prevent moisture absorption. If the filament absorbs moisture, dry it using a filament dryer or a warm oven at 60°C for 5 hours.

FAQ's
Q: What is the percentage of carbon fiber in your carbon fiber PLA?
A: 3D META's Carbon Fiber PLA is made up of 10% carbon fiber.
Q: Are 3D META's filament spools compatible with Bambu Labs AMS's or any other brand's multi-coloured printing systems?
A: Yes, all of our spools are compatible with both Bambu Labs AMS systems and similar systems being released by other brands.
Q: What are the benefits of using Carbon Fiber PLA filament?
A: Carbon Fiber PLA filament combines the ease of PLA printing with the added strength and rigidity of carbon fiber reinforcement. This results in parts that are more durable and mechanically robust compared to standard PLA. It’s ideal for functional prototypes, mechanical parts, and any application requiring enhanced strength and stiffness.
Q: Do I need a special 3D printer for Carbon Fiber PLA?
A: While Carbon Fiber PLA filament can be used with most standard 3D printers, it is recommended to use a printer with an all-metal hotend and a hardened steel nozzle. The carbon fiber particles can be abrasive and may wear out standard nozzles faster. A hardened steel nozzle will help ensure a smooth printing experience and extend the life of your nozzle.
Q: What should I be aware of regarding post-processing of Carbon Fiber PLA prints?
A: Post-processing Carbon Fiber PLA prints can be more challenging than standard PLA due to the abrasive nature of the carbon fiber particles. Sanding and finishing may require more effort, and using finer grit sandpaper can help achieve a smooth finish. Be sure to use appropriate safety gear like masks and gloves when sanding, as the carbon fiber dust can be harmful if inhaled.
