Breaking Elongation Rate	10.4 ± 0.6 %
Bending Modulus	2890 ± 130 MPa
Bending Strength	83 ± 4 MPa
Impact Strength	41.2 ± 2.6 kJ/m²

 

Powerful XY Performance

The incorporation of carbon fiber in Bambu PETG-CF substantially improves the XY strength of the printed parts, providing them with increased structural integrity. The carbon fiber reinforcement reinforces the PETG matrix, enhancing its overall strength and reducing the risk of deformation or breakage under applied forces. Despite the added strength, the layer bonding of Bambu PETG-CF remains intact, ensuring that the printed objects maintain their dimensional stability and durability.

 

Smart Printing with RFID

With Bambu PETG-CF, all the essential printing parameters are conveniently embedded in an RFID chip. This RFID chip can be read by our AMS (Automatic Material System), eliminating the need for manual configuration and tedious setup steps.

Simply load the filament onto the printer, and the AMS will automatically detect the material and retrieve the corresponding printing parameters from the RFID chip. This streamlined process saves you time and effort, allowing you to start printing right away without the hassle of adjusting settings.

Say goodbye to manual parameter input and enjoy a more seamless and efficient printing experience with Bambu PETG-CF and our integrated AMS technology.

Increased Flexibility

Bambu PETG-CF stands out among other carbon fiber materials due to its exceptional toughness. The addition of carbon fiber reinforcement enhances the overall toughness of the PETG matrix, making it more resistant to fractures and failures under external stress and impact. This increased toughness ensures that the printed parts can withstand demanding applications and environments without compromising their structural integrity. Whether subjected to mechanical forces or impacts, Bambu PETG-CF exhibits a higher level of durability and resistance to failure, providing reliable performance for various functional and demanding 3D printing projects.
