Printability and Surface Finish

FibreX PA6+GF30 is engineered for users seeking reliable engineering performance from additive manufacturing. The glass fiber reinforcement improves dimensional stability and helps reduce deformation during printing while enhancing overall part rigidity.

Finished parts exhibit a professional matte appearance with excellent layer adhesion when printed under recommended conditions. The resulting components are highly suitable for structural applications where stiffness and load-bearing capability are critical.

As with most fiber-reinforced materials, the abrasive nature of the glass fibers makes a hardened steel or wear-resistant nozzle strongly recommended to maximize hardware longevity and print consistency.

Proper filament drying before printing is essential to achieve optimal print quality and mechanical performance.
