Manufacturing process
Methodology
FDM (Filament deposition manufacturing) involves melting a thermoplastic wire through a nozzle heated to high temperature. The molten filament (of the order of a tenth of a millimeter) emerging from the nozzle is laid down in line, and bonds to what has already been laid down. The part is built by depositing a molten filament extruded by a heated nozzle guided by CAD data.

NYLON 12CF
Download the data sheetFDM Nylon 12 Carbon Fiber (Nylon 12CF) combines Nylon 12 with carbon fibers to achieve a flexural strength and strength-to-weight ratio superior to any FDM material. Validate designs faster with functional carbon fiber prototypes. Replace heavy metal tools with lighter, more ergonomic Nylon 12CF tools.
