PET CF Printing Applications
Functional Prototyping
Create functional prototypes with high-performance properties including impressive strength, stiffness, and temperature resistance. Use an engineering-grade material for your engineering prototypes.
Tooling and Fixtures
UltiMaker PET CF is the perfect material for your manufacturing needs. It provides the performance and versatility for a wide range of applications: such as jigs, fixtures, and end-of-arm tooling.
Replacement Parts and Auxiliary Components
UltiMaker PET CF is the perfect solution for replacing broken or hard-to-source parts. You no longer need to shut down a production line for days or weeks while waiting for a replacement. Instead, you can print a new part using PET CF, even when you need it to be strong or temperature-resistant.
What’s in the box?
Everything you need to start printing high-performance parts on an UltiMaker S7 and S series printer.
Enjoy a seamless composite printing experience thanks to the complete integration of PET CF with UltiMaker S7 printers and S series printers: including NFC-equipped spools, the Print Core CC, and intent profiles in UltiMaker Cura.
The UltiMaker PET Carbon Fiber Expansion Kit includes:
- 2x spools of PET CF Black
- 1x spool of PET CF Gray
- 1x spool of PET CF Blue
- UltiMaker Print Core CC 0.4
- UltiMaker Print Core CC 0.6
- Free Ultimaker Cura software with optimized PET CF annealing slicing features
Excellent Mechanical Properties: With a flexural strength of ~100 MPa and a stiffness of ~6000 MPa, PET CF proivdes excellent mechanical properties, suitable for a wide range of applications.
Color Code Your Carbon Fiber: UltiMaker PET CF comes in three colors: black, gray and blue, all three which are included in this kit.
Low Moisture Sensitifity: Less moisture sensitive other than carbon fiber-based materials.
Enhanced Performance Through Annealing: Annealing your part results in a temperature resistance of 181°C, a 30% increase in strength, and a 10% increase in stiffness.
Compatible with UltiMaker Support Materials: Enjoy full design freedom when printing PET CF in combination with PVA or Breakaway support materials.
Perfectly tuned for UltiMaker S series printer: Complete integration of PET CF with S series printers: including NFC-equipped spools, intent profiles in UltiMaker Cura, and two sizes of CC Print Core, both of which are in this kit.
