This innovative filament from Polymaker redefines what’s possible, combining the renowned printability and versatility of PETG with the exceptional strength and stiffness of recycled carbon fibers. Elevate your creations with a material that’s as powerful as it is eco-conscious.
Key Features & Benefits
Sustainable Strength: Fiberon PETG-rCF isn’t just about performance; it’s about responsible innovation. Utilizing recycled carbon fibers derived from end-of-life wind turbine blades, this filament offers a more sustainable choice without compromising on the robust mechanical properties you demand. Certified to the Global Recycled Standard by TÜV Rheinland.
Engineered for Performance: Inheriting the best of PETG, Fiberon PETG-rCF boasts excellent layer adhesion, minimal warping, and low shrinkage. The addition of 8% recycled chopped carbon fiber by weight significantly enhances stiffness, dimensional accuracy, and creep resistance, making it an ideal choice for functional prototypes and durable end-use parts.
High-Speed Capable: Designed with modern 3D printers in mind, Fiberon PETG-rCF is optimized for high-speed printing, allowing you to achieve impressive print times without sacrificing quality. Print speeds of up to 300mm/s are achievable on compatible machines.
Exceptional Printability: Often dubbed the “PLA of engineering materials,” Fiberon PETG-rCF is remarkably easy to work with. It offers excellent bed adhesion and a consistent diameter (1.75mm +/- 0.03mm) for reliable, hassle-free printing.
Attractive Matte Finish: The carbon fiber reinforcement imparts a distinctive matte surface finish to your prints, adding a professional and sophisticated look to your designs.
Moisture Insensitive (in application): While it’s always recommended to keep filaments dry for optimal printing, Fiberon PETG-rCF exhibits low moisture absorption in its finished state, ensuring printed parts maintain their mechanical properties even in varying environmental conditions.
Ideal Applications:
Fiberon PETG-rCF is a versatile material perfect for a wide range of demanding applications, including:
- Functional Prototypes: Create strong, dimensionally accurate prototypes that can withstand rigorous
- Automotive Components: Produce parts requiring enhanced stiffness and durability for automotive applications.
- Drone Parts: Its lightweight and strong nature makes it excellent for drone frames and other components.
- Jigs and Fixtures: Develop robust tooling for manufacturing and assembly processes.
- Consumer Goods: Design durable and aesthetically pleasing consumer products.
Important
Printing Considerations:
- Hardened Nozzle Recommended: Due to the abrasive nature of carbon fibers, a hardened steel or ruby nozzle is highly recommended to prevent wear on your hotend.
- Printing Temperature: 240°C – 270°C
- Build Plate Temperature: 60°C – 70°C
- Enclosure: Recommended for best results.
- Drying: While moisture insensitive in application, proper drying (e.g., 65°C for 3 hours) before printing is crucial for optimal performance and to avoid issues like foaming.
