BASF Ultrafuse PET CF15
Easy Machinability, Low Moisture Absorption, Excellent Strength and Stiffness at an Affordable Cost
Ultrafuse PET CF15 is an engineering filament reinforced with 15% carbon fiber. This material offers easy processability compared to other carbon fiber-reinforced filaments, allowing users to 3D print components that remain functional even under high mechanical and thermal loads.
Description Ultrafuse PET CF15 is optimized to enable users to develop new 3D printing applications with higher requirements. Due to its superior heat resistance, high strength and rigidity, it is ideal for a wide range of demanding industrial applications. Its high dimensional stability and very low moisture absorption make it perfect for applications in humid operating environments.
