Description
Triton 3D CF Nylon 12 was formulated to be 100% compatible with your Stratasys Fortus® printers and comes with a replacement EEPROM chip at a fraction of the cost of OEM Stratasys® branded filament. Our Nylon 12 + chopped carbon fiber is 100% guaranteed to work in your Stratasys® PA12CF compatible printers. Nylon 12 [PA12] absorbs less moisture than many other Nylons and retains its mechanical properties long after exposure to humid environments. Parts printed with PA12 also benefit from improved chemical resistance vs. many other nylons – including fuel, oil, lubricants, and many common solvents seen in industrial settings. Our Stratasys Compatible Nylon 12CF is also ESD-safe with a surface resistance value of 10^7 ohm/sq on printed specimen. Please note that Nylon 12CF is abrasive and will reduce the useful life of tips that are supplied by Stratasys. Our T20C tips are made using hardened steel and were designed specifically for printing Nylon 12CF and other abrasive materials. |
Reviews
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.
