Elegoo's Innovative Fiber-Reinforced Filament Series

Elegoo, a rapidly progressing brand in the smart manufacturing sector, has recently introduced its innovative series of fiber-reinforced filaments aimed at bolstering the capabilities of FDM 3D printing. This new product line includes three high-performance materials: carbon fiber reinforced PETG (PETG-CF), glass fiber reinforced PETG (PETG-GF), and high-temperature nylon reinforced with carbon fiber (PAHT-CF). These materials promise enhanced strength, durability, and professional-grade print outcomes, starting at just $9.99 for a 0.5kg spool.

Expanding Performance and Versatility

The launch of these fiber-reinforced filaments marks a significant development in Elegoo's commitment to optimizing 3D printing experiences. According to a recent survey conducted by the company, a lack of familiarity and the perceived high costs have deterred many users from exploring fiber-reinforced filaments. Chris Hong, Founder and CEO of Elegoo, states, "With Centauri Carbon, our FDM performance has reached a new level. Now, we aim to achieve similar results with equally capable materials. Consumer 3D printing transcends toys; it can genuinely serve as a tool for creating practical everyday items, and we hope many more people will engage with it."

Features of Each Filament

1. PETG-CF (Black/Grey)

Combining the toughness of PETG with the rigidity of carbon fiber, PETG-CF offers exceptional strength, stiffness, and abrasion resistance. Its low-gloss matte finish helps conceal layer lines while resisting wear, making it ideal for functional parts and outdoor items. Typical applications include accessories, lightweight supports, bicycle components, housing parts, gears, latches, automotive parts, and mechanical casings.

2. PETG-GF (Black/Grey/White)

By infusing PETG with glass fiber, PETG-GF gains increased hardness and abrasion resistance while providing excellent electrical insulation due to the non-conductive nature of glass fibers. This filament showcases a premium matte finish that minimizes layer visibility, perfect for functional parts requiring durability and insulation. It's especially recommended for electrical enclosures, internal machinery structures, tool accessories, bicycle pedals, and abrasion-resistant connectors and terminals.

3. PAHT-CF (Black)

Crafted by combining carbon fiber with high-temperature nylon, PAHT-CF delivers remarkable thermal, mechanical, and chemical corrosion resistance. It withstands temperatures of up to 194 °C and maintains structural integrity under thermal stress. This filament exhibits outstanding layer adhesion, abrasion resistance, and dimensional accuracy, making it perfect for high-demand applications. Recommended use cases include motor housings, engine components, heat-resistant accessories, gears, bearings, and structural or replacement parts in automotive and industrial environments.

Pricing and Availability

The fiber-reinforced filament series is now available through Elegoo's official stores in the U.S., EU, UK, Canada, Australia, and on Amazon. Below are the prices for the U.S. region:
