High-Performance Carbon Fiber PET for Functional 3D Printing

The Spectrum PET CF15 Carbon Fiber Filament is engineered for users who need stronger, stiffer, and more dimensionally stable prints than standard PETG. Reinforced with 15% carbon fiber, this filament delivers a premium matte finish with improved mechanical performance while remaining relatively easy to print.

Designed for makers, engineers, and prosumers, PET CF15 bridges the gap between aesthetic quality and functional strength—making it ideal for demanding applications without the complexity of high-temperature industrial materials.

Key Features & Benefits

• 15% Carbon Fiber Reinforcement
  Enhances stiffness, strength, and dimensional accuracy for functional parts
• Low Warp & High Stability
  Easier to print than many engineering filaments with reduced shrinkage
• Matte, Professional Finish
  Naturally hides layer lines for clean, production-quality results
• Improved Rigidity
  Ideal for structural components requiring minimal flex
• Good Layer Adhesion
  Ensures strong interlayer bonding for durability under stress
• Reduced Stringing Compared to Standard PETG
  Cleaner prints with less post-processing required

Typical Applications

• Functional prototypes
• Mechanical parts and brackets
• Jigs, fixtures, and tooling
• Automotive components (non-high-heat zones)
• Robotics and drone parts
• Enclosures and housings
• End-use parts requiring stiffness and precision

Material & Compatibility

Spectrum PET CF15 is based on a modified PET matrix, enhanced with carbon fiber for improved mechanical properties while maintaining user-friendly printability.

Compatibility Notes:

• Works with most FDM/FFF 3D printers that support PETG-like materials
• Requires a hardened steel nozzle (carbon fiber is abrasive)
• Compatible with standard heated beds
• Suitable for enclosed and open-frame printers

Printing Characteristics:

• Low warping compared to ABS or Nylon
• Excellent dimensional stability
• Minimal shrinkage
• Reliable bed adhesion with common surfaces (PEI, glass, textured plates)
