BASF Ultrafuse PAHT CF15
High Temperature PA with 15% Carbon Fiber
Ultrafuse PAHT CF15 is a high-performance 3D printing filament that opens up new application areas in FFF printing. It works in any FFF printer that has a hardened nozzle. In addition, it is compatible with BVOH, a water-soluble support material, and HIPS, which enables the printing of complex geometries for the most challenging operating environments.
This filament combines high-temperature and chemical resistance with exceptional mechanical resilience. Due to its excellent dimensional stability, the printed component will exhibit low shrinkage during printing, ensuring a simple printing experience. The nature of the fibers ensures that the parts remain very strong and highly rigid.
