Spectrum PET CF15
15% Carbon Fiber Reinforced | Low Hygroscopicity | HDT 125°C | 0.75kg
Spectrum PET CF15 represents the pinnacle of structural performance in the Spectrum industrial catalog. By reinforcing a high-quality Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) matrix with 15% high-modulus carbon fibers, we have created a material that offers extreme rigidity and thermal stability while significantly outperforming Nylon-based composites in moisture resistance.
This filament is designed for functional parts that must maintain their dimensional accuracy and mechanical strength over long periods, even when exposed to fluctuating humidity and temperatures. The resulting prints feature a stunning matte finish that feels as solid as metallic components.
Unlike Carbon Fiber Nylon (PA/CF), which is notoriously sensitive to moisture, PET CF15 exhibits very low hygroscopicity. This means your parts won't swell or lose strength in humid environments, making it the superior choice for automotive exterior components and industrial end-use parts.
🔥 High Heat Resistance
A Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) of 125°C ensures parts remain rigid and functional in high-temp enclosures.
💎 Exceptional Stiffness
The 15% CF reinforcement provides a massive boost to the Tensile Modulus, perfect for structural frames.
🧪 Chemical & UV Stability
Inert to various oils and fuels, with naturally higher UV resistance than standard engineering plastics.
📐 Near-Zero Shrinkage
Engineered for high-precision printing with minimal warping, allowing for perfect fitment in large assemblies.

Essential documentation for structural validation:
* Engineer's Maintenance Note: PET CF15 is highly abrasive. To ensure precision over time, you must use a hardened steel nozzle. Although PET is less moisture-sensitive than Nylon, we still recommend drying at 60°C for 4 hours to achieve the best surface finish.
