Ultrafuse® PET CF15
Combines Easy Processability and very Low Moisture Uptake with Excellent Strength and Rigidity – at an Affordable Cost
Ultrafuse® PET CF15 is an engineering-grade polyethylene terephthalate (PET) filament reinforced with 15% carbon fiber. Designed for excellent printability, it is easier to process than many other carbon fiber–reinforced filaments while delivering enhanced mechanical strength and thermal stability. This makes it an ideal material for producing high-performance components that maintain their functionality under demanding mechanical and elevated temperature conditions.
Built for demanding applications, Ultrafuse® PET CF15 is a carbon fibre reinforced PET 3D printer filament that delivers exceptional stiffness, dimensional stability, and a lightweight finish. Its low moisture absorption and high heat resistance make it an excellent choice for industrial tooling, functional prototypes, jigs, fixtures, and durable end-use parts.
Applications in Orthotics and Prosthetics
Ultrafuse® PET CF15 is well suited for the production of orthotic and prosthetic components where a combination of high strength, low weight, and dimensional stability is required. Its carbon fiber reinforcement provides the stiffness and durability needed for functional support devices, while its excellent thermal and mechanical performance enables the manufacture of customized, patient-specific solutions using additive manufacturing.
