Essentium PA-CF Additive Manufacturing Filament
Categories:	Polymer; 3D Printing/Additive Manufacturing Polymer; Thermoplastic; Nylon (Polyamide PA)
Material Notes:	Essentium PA-CF is a carbon fiber-infused polyamide filament specially formulated for additive manufacturing. Provides exceptional strength, durability, thermal stability and stiffness that is customary of carbon fiber materials. Readily printable with a wide processing window, providing a highly accessible engineering grade solution for open platform and even open-air printers. Mechanical properties of PA may change with water uptake as it is moisture sensitive. Definitions of axes used in property data table: XY is the print direction. ZX is the build direction. YX is the third orthogonal axis. Information provided by Essentium Materials, LLC.
