Polymaker's Fiberon™ PPS-CF10 Filament Launch in Japan

Polymaker, renowned for its high-quality 3D printing materials, is set to introduce the Fiberon™ PPS-CF10 filament to the Japanese market on November 17, 2025. Distributed by Sanstera Co., Ltd., located in Toshima, Tokyo, this advanced filament is engineered for extreme performance, showcasing high heat resistance, chemical stability, and flame retardancy—key features in today's demanding industrial applications.

Features of Fiberon™ PPS-CF10

The Fiberon™ PPS-CF10 filament is a composite material that blends polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) with approximately 10% short carbon fibers. This unique composition leads to remarkable properties ideal for engineering uses, including:

• - Exceptional dimensional stability: Maintains form under a wide range of conditions.
• - Outstanding chemical resistance: Withstands harsh environments often found in industrial settings.
• - High heat resistance: Capable of maintaining performance at temperatures exceeding 250°C.
• - Flame retardancy: Rated UL 94 V-0, ensuring safety in flammable environments.
• - High rigidity and strength: Suitable for complex and demanding components.
• - Creep resistance: Ideal for applications requiring high durability.

Competitive Edge in Manufacturing

In recent years, the use of 3D printers in manufacturing has evolved beyond prototyping, with a growing trend towards creating end-use parts, production aids, jigs, and functional components. However, traditional filaments have struggled to meet the rigorous demands of high-temperature, chemically aggressive, and dimensionally stable applications. Polymaker’s Fiberon™ PPS-CF10 is a game changer in this regard, bridging the gap with a material that truly meets these tough requirements.

Specifications and Pricing

The Fiberon™ PPS-CF10 filament comes in a single color option and has a standard diameter of 1.75 mm, with precise tolerances of ± 0.05 mm. The material is sold at a price of ¥18,700 (including tax) for a 500g spool. Here are its key specifications:

• - Recommended printing temperature: 310 – 350 °C
• - Maximum printing speed: 300 mm/s
• - Recommended bed temperature: 80 – 90 °C
• - Spool dimensions: Diameter 200 mm, Width 65.6 mm

Thermal Properties

The filament exhibits exceptional thermal characteristics:

• - Glass transition temperature: 97.7 °C
• - Melting point: 279.69 °C
• - Crystallization temperature: 218.8 °C
• - Thermal decomposition temperature: 502.7 °C
• - Softening point: 267.5 °C

The Fiberon™ Series Overview

Polymaker’s Fiberon™ series comprises high-performance engineering filaments designed for complex applications. The series is enhanced with tailored settings in slicing software specifically for Bambu Lab 3D printers, allowing users to achieve stable prints without extensive adjustments.

The spool design includes edge-reinforced features, minimizing wear even when using support materials.

Future Prospects of Polymaker Filaments

The Fiberon™ branding is part of a restructuring that will unite various Polymaker filament series under three main categories: functional filaments such as Polymaker™, aesthetic options like Punkroma™, and composite materials under the Fiberon™ name.
