Filament PET CF15 Spectrum 1.75mm Black 1kg

Spectrum PET CF15 - very strong and rigid

Spectrum PET CF15 is a black through-dyed material based on polyethylene terephthalate. It is the easiest-to-print material filled with carbon fibre on the market. It presents no retraction issues and does not require a heating chamber. It demonstrates a perfect surface finish directly from the printer, thus reducing the need for further treatments. Spectrum PET CF15 is compatible with support materials such as HIPS-X and can be used to print very strong and rigid items. It features a low impact of moisture and temperature on dimensions. PET CF15 filament may undergo additional treatment to improve its mechanical properties.

To attain the very attractive properties of Spectrum PET CF15, as regards the technical aspects, you need to follow the basic storage rules for such materials (in a dry and dark place with humidity below 15%). To obtain the best parameters of the printed object possible, it is recommended to dry the material prior to work.

Key features

• low processing (linear) shrinkage of 0.1%
• high temperature up to 125°C for short-time operation
• a relatively high resistance to thermal ageing
• high Z-strength
• high hardness, stiffness and creep resistance of printed elements
• chemical resistance to lubricants and oils
• good tribological properties, including dry friction conditions such as in slide bearings
• very robust interlayer lamination
• excellent impact strength
• water absorption below 0.3% (23°C / 24h)

Packaging

Filament is reeled on the neat, transparent spool. Each spool contains information on the type of material, diameter and recommended printing temperature. Filament is vacuum-packed with a moisture absorber. Whole product packed in the original, folied Spectrum Filaments packaging.

Verify your spool

During the production each 1mm of filament is being continuously measured in 2 axis with ±0.8µm accuracy. To be sure that the measurement result is reliable we use certified laser meter devices. Each spool receives a sticker with an individual QR code and spool ID. In the final step collected data is transported to our database what enables end-user to check online the course of diameter, mean diameter, ovality, standard deviation and production date for each manufactured spool individually. Precise survey guarantees that our products meet rigorous market requirements.
