Bambu Lab PA6-CF Carbon Fiber Nylon

Bambu PA6-CF is a high-performance composite material that combines PA6 (Nylon 6) with carbon fiber. This unique blend provides the filament with exceptional mechanical and thermal properties, making it an ideal choice for engineering parts, functional prototypes, and low-volume production parts. Even in dry environments, Bambu PA6-CF maintains its strength, durability, and impact resistance, ensuring reliable performance for demanding projects.

Superior Strength and Stiffness

Bambu PA6-CF offers superior stiffness and strength properties, making it perfect for printing load-bearing structural components. The carbon fiber reinforcement ensures that printed parts can withstand heavy loads and repetitive stresses without compromising their structural integrity.

Impact & Vibration Resistance

Bambu PA6-CF exhibits excellent impact resistance, ensuring effective vibration resistance for your prints. It is commonly used to print models that need to withstand impact, collision, and vibration, providing toughness and durability even in challenging conditions.

Exceptional Thermal Resistance

Bambu PA6-CF boasts an impressive heat deflection temperature of up to 186℃ (0.45MPa), making it highly suitable for applications where printed parts may be subjected to elevated temperatures. This high heat resistance ensures that parts retain their structural integrity and strength even when exposed to demanding thermal conditions.

Low Water Absorption

Bambu PA6-CF has a significantly lower water absorption rate compared to regular PA6 materials. This reduced water absorption helps prevent dimensional changes, warping, and degradation, ensuring that the material maintains its mechanical properties and dimensional stability even in humid environments.

Incredible Z-Bonding

Bambu PA6-CF exhibits superior adhesion in Z layers compared to regular PA-CF materials. This enhanced adhesion ensures strong interlayer bonding, resulting in a more robust and durable printed part that can effectively distribute and absorb impact forces.

Resistance to High Temperatures

With a heat deflection temperature of up to 186℃, Bambu PA6-CF is ideal for applications where parts are exposed to elevated temperatures. This ensures the parts retain their structural integrity and mechanical properties, making it suitable for automotive components, electrical enclosures, and industrial equipment.

Smart Printing with RFID

Bambu PA6-CF features an embedded RFID chip that stores all essential printing parameters. When loaded onto a compatible printer, the AMS (Automatic Material System) reads the RFID chip, automatically retrieving the necessary settings. This eliminates the need for manual configuration, making the printing process more efficient and user-friendly.

Printing Tips

• Drying conditions: 80℃ for 10 hrs. PA6-CF is highly sensitive to humidity. For optimal printing performance, further drying is recommended before use and after storage. For more details, please refer to: Filament drying instructions on WIKI.
• Handling Support Structures: When printing a model with support, remove the support structure within 2 hours to prevent it from becoming difficult to remove after being damp and softened. If difficult to remove, dry the prints, let them cool, and then remove the support.
• Waterproofing: Fully impregnating the surface of the prints with paint, wax, and other water-proof coatings can inhibit water absorption and prevent them from becoming soft.
