Bambu PET-CF is a blend of tough PET and carbon fiber. Carbon fiber improves hardness and mechanical strength, while still help maintain the low warping and shrinkage of ordinary PET. Bambu PET-CF has excellent high temperature resistance and a soft glow appearance. Its excellent strength, heat resistance, dimensional stability and low moisture absorption make Bambu PET-CF an ideal choice for load-bearing structures or prints used in high temperature and humid environments.

Printing Tips

While printing, it is more recommended to use an enclosed printer, as layer bonding of some prints may become compromised due to overcooling.
Drying conditions: 80℃ for 8 hrs. PET-CF is highly sensitive to humidity. To achieve optimal printing performance, it is recommeded further drying before use and after storage. For more details please refer to: Filament drying instructions on Bambu Lab Wiki.
To prevent the material from absorbing moisture, it is recommended to use an airtight storage container with desiccant during printing. For more details, please refer to:Printing tips for Engineering materials on Bambu Lab Wiki.
Bambu PAHT-CF comes with a high-temperature resistant spool, which is not prone to deformation in the drying process. Continuing our concept of reducing plastic waste, the spool can also be reused with other Bambu refills.
Bambu PET-CF isn't compatible with AMS

Features

Low moisture absorption

In saturated water absorption conditions, the strength and stiffness of PET-CF have small losses, making it suitable for prints used in high humidity environments.

High dimensional stability

Due to the creep and warping resistance of PET-CF, prints can achieve excellent matching accuracy.

Exceptional thermal resistance

PET-CF exhibits the highest thermal resistance compared to other filaments such as ABS, PETG, PLA, PA-CF, and PC.

FAQs

Q: What is the difference between PET-CF and PETG-CF?
A: The primary difference between PET-CF and PETG-CF lies in their base material. PETG-CF is a reinforced material made by adding carbon fiber to glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate (PETG), while PET-CF is to polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The key difference 'G' in PETG stands for glycol. PETG is a glycol-modified version of PET that contains small amounts of glycol as a co-monomer. The addition of glycol to PETG reduces its crystallinity and makes it more transparent. However, it also reduces its strength and stiffness.

Q: The difference in application between PETG-CF and PET-CF?
A: PETG-CF is a versatile basic material that is suitable for printing everyday items, such as bent, folded, and movable parts, due to its excellent toughness and ease of printing. PET-CF, in contrast, contains a greater amount of carbon fiber and is significantly stronger and more temperature resistant compared to PETG-CF. PET-CF is a professional-grade engineering material that is suitable for use in more complex and demanding environments.

Q: What is PET-CF used for?
A: Due to its dimensional stability and lower water absorption rate, PET-CF is a better choice than nylon for printing functional parts used in high humidity environments. Also, its high-temperature resistance and low warping make it suitable for printing mechanical assembly parts, such as automotive accessories and fixtures.
