Why to Choose PC Carbon Fiber raw materials as 3D printing filaments?

Carbon fiber reinforced polycarbonate (PC carbon fiber) has excellent mechanical properties, good physical properties, outstanding processing performance (good fluidity and compatibility), and other advantages.

1. Excellent mechanical properties:
– High strength: Carbon fiber boosts polycarbonate’s strength. Printed products can handle stress and load, suitable for high-strength parts like auto, mechanical, and tools.
– High stiffness: Enhances rigidity, reducing deformation for precise dimensions and stability.
– Good impact resistance: Higher than pure polycarbonate, resistant to external impacts for collision-prone applications.
2. Good physical properties:
– Light weight: Low density due to carbon fiber, important for aerospace to reduce weight and improve performance.
– Stable dimensions: Low thermal expansion for stable size in different temperatures, reducing deviations.
– Good wear resistance: Improves surface durability, suitable for wear-prone parts like gears and rails.
3. Outstanding processing performance:
– Good fluidity: Smoothly passes through nozzle for seamless printing, reducing clogging and breakage.
– Compatibility: Works with most 3D printers, no special modifications needed, lowering costs.
4. Other advantages:
– Environmental friendliness: Polycarbonate and carbon fiber are recyclable to some extent, meeting sustainable requirements.
– Aesthetics: Prints unique parts with black carbon fiber texture, adding tech and quality for high-appearance products.

What types of carbon fiber reinforced PC raw materials are suitable for 3D printing filaments?

1. High proportion carbon fiber reinforced raw materials:
– PC-CF-BCA2: Containing 20% carbon fiber modified reinforcement, this material as PC carbon fiber raw materials exhibits outstanding performance in mechanical properties like strength and rigidity. It is ideal for manufacturing parts that have high structural strength requirements, such as the shells or internal structural components of laptops, OA equipment, and electrical appliances.
– PC-CF-BCA3: Boasting 30% carbon fiber reinforcement, the carbon fiber content is relatively high. This enables a further enhancement of the material’s strength and rigidity. It can be utilized to manufacture mechanical structural parts and drone parts that have extremely high material performance requirements. For instance, it is suitable for making the wings and fuselage structural parts of some high-performance drones.
2. PC CF raw materials with low shrinkage rate:
– PC-CF-BCA1: This is a product with good performance in shrinkage control. It is suitable for manufacturing electronic equipment shells and precision instrument parts with strict dimensional accuracy requirements. For example, it can be used to manufacture the fine shell structure of electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets, as well as the shells and internal brackets of various precision instruments.
3. PC carbon fiber raw materials with good compatibility with common 3D printers:
– This type of product has been optimized in design. Its melting point, fluidity and other parameters can well adapt to the working conditions of most 3D FDM printers. For example, for some common desktop 3D FDM printers such as Creality Ender series and Anycubic series, these universal PC CF filaments can be printed smoothly without excessive adjustment and modification of the printer. The printing process is stable and there are no problems such as clogging and wire breakage. It can be used to print some small creative models and tool parts.
4. PC carbon fiber raw materials with good fluidity:
– PC CF filaments produced by this raw material has been improved in formulation and production process and has good fluidity. For models with complex structures and rich details, such as decorative items with fine internal hollow structures and industrial parts models with complex pipeline structures, this kind of filament can better fill tiny structures and gaps and print out more refined products.
