Description
Triton 3D Carbon Fiber ABS was formulated to be 100% compatible with your Stratasys® printers and come with replacement chips but at a fraction of the cost of Stratasys® brand filament. Refill your Stratasys® printer with our alternative to Carbon Fiber ABS. This grade of CF ABS is 100% guaranteed by Triton 3D® to work in your Stratasys® printers. TriMax™ CF-ABS is a high-performance carbon fiber reinforced ABS filament ideal for anyone that desires a structural component with high modulus, excellent surface quality, dimensional stability, light weight, and ease of printing. Made using Sabic® MG-94 premium ABS and High-Modulus Carbon Fiber. Please note: We performed hundreds of hours of testing on this grade in Stratasys® printers – both on our in-house Dimensions & Fortus printers and with outside beta testers. Due to the abrasive nature of carbon fiber, you should anticipate a 50% reduction in tip-life due to higher wear rates vs. unfilled ABS. |
Benefits of Triton ABS+CF - Stratasys Compatible
- Stiff, high-modulus, industrial-grade parts off many 3D printers available on the market today
- Greatly improved stiffness, modulus, and dimensional stability thanks to the addition of carbon fiber reinforcement
- Easier to print than most industrial-grade materials
- Parts can be smoothed with acetone vapors
- Higher melting point than PLA or PETG

Abrasive Material
This material is particularly abrasive among 3D printing filaments. Users may find standard brass nozzles are chewed through very quickly compared to standard wear and tear. When worn through, the nozzle diameter will widen inconsistently and the printer will experience extrusion issues.
Because of this, it's strongly recommended this material be printed through a hardened steel nozzle rather than a softer metal. Hardened steel nozzles can often be inexpensive and easily installed depending on your printer manufacturer's instructions.
Material DETAILS
Glass Fiber Reinforced Filament
What Is It?
DescriptionFibers made of glass reinforced into the polymer during manufacturing and aligned along the axis of filament.
This, along with their physical makeup, give this material enormous strength and mechanical properties.
What Does It Do?
Glass fiber reinforcement gives material a lot of desirable properties:
High strength
High stiffness
High chemical resistance
Low thermal expansion
How Does It Work?
Reinforcing plastic with glass fibers produces a 3D printing filament which exhibits the best properties of both fiberglass and the plastic of choice.
What Is It Good For?
Ideal for any applications which require strength and rigidity.
For these reasons, glass fiber reinforced filament is very popular in automotive, mechanical, civil engineering, and research industries.
