SUNLU Nylon-12 Carbon Fiber (PA12-CF) Filament
Engineered with carbon fiber reinforcement, SUNLU’s PA12-CF withstands temperatures up to 175±3°C, ensuring stability in demanding environments like automotive or aerospace applications. Optimized for printing at 260–280°C with a 50–70°C heated bed (use adhesive for adhesion), it delivers reliable performance even under extreme thermal stress.
Unmatched Durability & Wear Resistance
Built to endure heavy use, this material excels in high-impact and high-friction environments. Its carbon fiber matrix resists scratches, abrasion, and repeated stress, making it a top choice for functional prototypes, industrial tools, or mechanical parts requiring long-term reliability.
Low Moisture Absorption, High Dimensional Accuracy
Minimal hygroscopicity ensures consistent print quality and dimensional stability, eliminating warping or layer shifts. Achieve sharp details and tight tolerances for precision gears, aerospace fittings, or intricate functional prototypes—every time.

Printing Tips
● Nylon 12 is the lowest water absorption of nylon consumables, but based on the characteristics of nylon, compared with other consumables, nylon consumables are more susceptible to water absorption and moisture materials, so the usual storage should be placed in a dry environment (relative humidity of less than 20%)
● After 6 hours of unpacking, drying is required before printing, the recommended drying conditions are: 80°C for 12 hours or 110°C for 4 hours.
It is recommended to apply glue to assist printing to prevent warping. Turn on the cooling fan by 70%.
● Printing PA12-CF with copper nozzles is susceptible to wear and tear. It is recommended to use wear-resistant nozzles, e.g. hardened steel nozzles.

Is our filaments(like PLA, PLA+, etc.) a food safe material?
Is our filaments(like PLA, PLA+, etc.) a food safe material?
PLA is a food-safe material, but the filament will be added with toner during the production process, and it may also be contaminated by the printing nozzle during the printing process, so we do not recommend you to use PLA to print tableware
