BASF Ultrafuse PET CF15 - 2.85mm - 750g Print Temp. 250-270°C

Description: BASF Ultrafuse PET CF15 is a high-performance 3D printing filament designed for demanding applications. This filament is a composite material made from PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) reinforced with 15% carbon fiber, resulting in a material that combines the excellent mechanical properties of PET with the enhanced strength and rigidity provided by the carbon fiber reinforcement. Key Features: Diameter: 2.85mm Weight: 750g Print Temperature: 250-270°C Enhanced Strength and Rigidity: The carbon fiber reinforcement significantly increases the tensile strength and stiffness of the printed parts, making them suitable for functional and structural applications. Dimensional Stability: The low shrinkage and warping properties of PET CF15 ensure excellent dimensional stability and accuracy in printed parts. Chemical Resistance: PET CF15 offers good resistance to various chemicals, making it ideal for parts that will be exposed to harsh environments. Surface Finish: The carbon fiber content provides a matte surface finish with a professional appearance, reducing the need for post-processing. Ease of Printing: Despite its high-performance characteristics, PET CF15 is relatively easy to print with standard 3D printers equipped with a hardened nozzle to handle the abrasive nature of the carbon fibers. Applications: Functional prototypes Mechanical components Jigs and fixtures Automotive parts Aerospace components Recommended Print Settings: Nozzle Temperature: 250-270°C Bed Temperature: 70-90°C Print Speed: 30-60 mm/s Cooling Fan: Low or off For optimal results, ensure your 3D printer is equipped with a hardened steel or ruby nozzle to prevent excessive wear caused by the abrasive carbon fibers. Additionally, consider using an enclosure to maintain a stable printing environment.
