FunctionalStrong

SLS nylon PA12 carbon fiber is nylon 12 filled with about 23% carbon fiber. When compared to unfilled SLS nylon PA12, the carbon fiber makes parts stiff and dimensionally stable at elevated temperatures, but also less ductile, and strength depends on build direction. SLS nylon PA12 carbon fiber is a good option for rigid housings, rapid tooling, wind tunnel models, and under-hood parts.
