PolyMide™ PA12-CF is a carbon fiber reinforced PA12 (Nylon 12) filament. Thanks
to the low moisture sensitivity of PA12, this product features outstanding mechanicaland thermal properties even after the moisture conditioning process. Combined with
its ease of print with Warp-Free™ technology, this product is ideal to create
manufacturing tools.

Abrasion of the brass nozzle happens frequently when printing PolyMide™
PA12-CF. Normally, the life of a brass nozzle would be approximately 9h. A
wear-resistance nozzle, such as hardened steel and ruby nozzle, is highly
recommended to be used with PolyMide™ PA12-CF.
If PolyMide™ PA12-CF is used as the support material for itself, please remove
the support structure before excessive moisture absorption. Otherwise thesupport structure can be permanently bonded to the model.
After the printing process, it is recommended to anneal the model in the ovenat 80°C for 6 hours.
