The consumable colorFabb XT-CF20 is a carbon fiber and polyester reinforced composite material. It is reinforced with at least 20% carbon fiber suitable for 3D printing. The combination of carbon fiber in the consumable offers:
- Extreme High Flex Modulus (6.2 GPa), twice as stiff as PLA/PHA
- Moderate strain at break (8-10%), so no extreme brittle filament, but toughness
- High Glass Temp. (Tg = 80C)
- Very high Melt strength
- Very high Melt Viscosity
- Good dimensional accuracy and stability
- Low odor / Styrene Free solution
- Easy processing on many platforms
- High attractive matt black surface
