3DO PA12-CF is a carbon fiber-reinforced polyamide filament designed for industrial applications requiring maximum strength, stiffness, and dimensional stability. With excellent thermal resistance and low warping tendencies, it is ideal for weight-critical projects such as aerospace and motorsport.
A hardened nozzle is recommended due to the abrasive nature of the carbon fibers.
