Product description

Outstanding Specialist Enriched with Carbon Fibers

PCTG is a copolyester gaining popularity among users of 3D printing technology.

In terms of properties, it is often contrasted with PETG, which is well known to every printer. It is worth mentioning, however, that PCTG has significantly higher impact toughness compared to its older counterpart. The high flexibility of PCTG combined with high film cohesion, high viscosity, and negligible shrinkage makes it an ideal polymer for composite materials.

As the first of the PCTG-based composites, we developed a version with carbon fibers – PCTG CF10.

The carbon fibers used impart extremely high stiffness to the filament while also limiting the brittle fracture that is characteristic of other PETG-based carbon composites. PCTG CF10 filament allows printing parts with increased hardness and tensile strength compared to standard PCTG. The use of carbon fibers increases the thermal resistance of the filament, further reduces shrinkage, and gives the printed models a characteristic "carbon" matte appearance.

With Spectrum PCTG CF10 filament, 3D printing becomes an even more viable alternative to traditional plastic processing for obtaining durable and robust everyday objects, regardless of their size.
