PET CF 15 Spectrum 750g

Filament Spectrum PET CF15

Very strong and rigid

Spectrum PET CF15 is a black through-dyed material based on polyethylene terephthalate. It is the easiest-to-print material filled with carbon fibre on the market. It presents no retraction issues and does not require a heating chamber. It demonstrates a perfect surface finish directly from the printer, thus reducing the need for further treatments.

Spectrum PET CF15 is compatible with support materials such as HIPS-X and can be used to print very strong and rigid items. It features a low impact of moisture and temperature on dimensions. PET CF15 filament may undergo additional treatment to improve its mechanical properties.

To attain the very attractive properties of Spectrum PET CF15, as regards the technical aspects, you need to follow the basic storage rules for such materials (in a dry and dark place with humidity below 15%). To obtain the best parameters of the printed object possible, it is recommended to dry the material prior to work.

Tip: Due to the essential content of shredded carbon fire, it is recommended to use nozzles with diameters exceeding the standard value of 0.4mm. The presence of carbon fibre may also cause the wear of brass nozzle, thus it is recommended to use stainless steel nozzles for prolonged application of Spectrum PET CF15.
