COEXNylex PA6-CF is PA6 nylon reinforced with 10% carbon fiber, and it's our top-selling nylon. Use it for parts that have to carry load, hold their dimensions and take heat: jigs, fixtures and manufacturing aids, robotics frames and mechanical components, automotive and aerospace prototypes, and load-bearing end-use parts. Want nylon without the fiber? See the full COEXNylex range.
Key properties
- High strength-to-weight ratio and tensile strength
- Dimensional stability and heat resistance for demanding engineering parts
- Consistent extrusion and strong layer adhesion despite the fiber content
- Matte black finish
Printing notes
- Use a hardened steel or other wear-resistant nozzle. Carbon fiber wears brass.
- Ships pre-dried, ready to print when you open it.
- Nylon absorbs moisture. Reseal the spool with desiccant between prints, and dry an opened spool at 80°C for 8–12 hours before critical prints.
- Need help dialing it in? Our engineering team can advise on settings.
