Polymaker's New Release: Fiberon™ ASA-CF08
Polymaker, a renowned leader in the 3D printing materials industry, has made a significant addition to its Fiberon™ series with the introduction of the Fiberon™ ASA-CF08 filament. This product was officially launched by Sunstella Co., Ltd., based in Toshima, Tokyo, and is specifically designed for high-performance applications that demand durability and reliability outdoors.
Key Features of Fiberon™ ASA-CF08
Fiberon™ ASA-CF08 is a composite filament that combines ASA's exceptional weather resistance with 8% carbon fiber, making it a notable choice for outdoor environments. This innovative filament is characterized by its high rigidity and low warping tendencies, as well as an aesthetically pleasing matte finish. With a flexural strength of 69.1 MPa and a heat deflection temperature (HDT) of 103°C, it is ideal for a variety of outdoor applications, ensuring robust performance even in high-temperature settings.
One of the standout features of Fiberon™ ASA-CF08 is its capacity for high-speed printing, supporting speeds up to 350 mm/s. This allows for an efficient printing process while maintaining high surface quality, making it suitable not only for functional parts but also for components where appearance matters.
Target Applications
Fiberon™ ASA-CF08 is versatile, finding its place in several applications including:
- - Outdoor components like covers, brackets, and fixtures designed for UV and environmental exposure.
- - Surrounding parts susceptible to thermal influences, needing high rigidity.
- - Functional components such as tools and housing parts that also require aesthetic quality.
The balance of outdoor use, resistance to high temperatures, and strength makes this filament a compelling option for creators looking for reliable materials that do not compromise on quality or performance.
