Carbon-Filled Nylon Description

Carbon-filled nylon PA 602-CF from ALM is a strong and lightweight material used in various industrial applications. This material combines nylon’s durability with carbon fibers’ strength, resulting in enhanced stability and longevity. Additionally, it has excellent wear resistance, which helps maintain its effectiveness and reduces costs over time.

PA 602-CF is rigid, stiff, and heat-resistant, making it ideal for selective laser sintering, a form of 3D printing. It is common in the aerospace, automotive, and industrial equipment industries. As industries evolve, materials like PA 602-CF play a crucial role in developing the next generation of products.

This material is available in different grades and thicknesses to meet specific requirements. Its ease of shaping and forming allows for custom designs.

Why should you choose Carbon-Filled Nylon for your project?

Carbon-filled nylon is strong, stiff, and durable, making it an excellent choice for 3D printing in challenging situations. Its improved mechanical properties allow for creating strong, high-quality parts that can handle heavy use. The carbon in the material also helps keep its shape and reduces warping, ensuring that the final products are precise and dependable.

Finishes for selective laser sintered Carbon-Filled Nylon.

You can finish selective laser-sintered carbon-filled nylon parts using different methods to improve their look and function. Standard finishing methods are bead blasting, chemical smoothing, and dyeing. Bead blasting gives a uniform matte finish. Chemical smoothing creates a shiny, polished surface. Dyeing allows you to customize colors to match specific needs. These finishing options can enhance the appearance and performance of carbon-filled nylon components.
