BASF PET CF15 3D Filament

BASF Ultrafuse® PET CF15 filament combines ease of processing and very low moisture absorption with excellent strength and stiffness at an affordable cost. Ultrafuse® PET CF15 is a polyethylene terephthalate reinforced with 15% carbon fiber. This technical filament is easier to process than other carbon fiber reinforced filaments. The filament is very strong and stiff and has high heat resistance. With its high dimensional stability and low abrasiveness, the filament provides an easy-to-print experience that allows direct printing onto glass or PEI sheet. It is compatible with HIPS for detachable backing and water soluble backing and has excellent surface finish. Users will be able to 3D print new components that remain fully functional under higher mechanical and thermal loads. Ultrafuse® PET CF15 is a technical filament optimized to allow users to develop new 3D printing applications with higher requirements. With its superior heat resistance, high strength and stiffness, it is a filament for a wide range of demanding industrial applications. Its high dimensional stability and very low moisture absorption make it a perfect solution for applications in wet operating environments.
