3D printing with PPA-CF

PPA-CF is a premium material developed for the most demanding applications. The base of polyphthalamide is combined with carbon fiber for exceptional stiffness, heat resistance and dimensional stability – even under extreme conditions. Compared to PAHT-CF and PET-CF PPA-CF is significantly stiffer and can withstand higher temperatures, making it perfect for industrial and structural parts exposed to long-term stress and heat. A professional material for high-performance prototypes and end products in small and large series and perfect for really stiff parts for commercial and military drones, for example.

 

Features:

  • Extremely high stiffness and bending strength
  • Withstands temperatures up to approx. 200 °C (HDT)
  • Very low moisture absorption and high dimensional stability
  • Ideal for demanding industrial applications
  • Excellent for durable and heat-resistant components

 

Suitable for: very strong and durable applications in industry, automotive and military that are exposed to high temperatures and demanding mechanical loads.
