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 the durability of nylon with the strength of carbon fibers, 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 an ideal material for selective laser sintering, a type 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 a strong, stiff, and durable material, making it an excellent choice for 3D printing in challenging situations. Its improved mechanical properties enable the creation of strong, high-quality parts that can withstand 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.
