Bambu PLA-CF

Bambu PLA-CF is carbon fiber reinforced PLA with improved stiffness and strength. PLA-CF is easy to print and beginner-friendly like regular PLA. It is AMS compatible with low clogging risk at high-speed printing. The prints are in matte finish with almost invisible layer lines, which make it suitable for printing general engineering parts or models requiring a better appearance, like bike frames, brackets and toys.

Carbon fiber texture & Minimized layer lines

The addition of carbon fiber gives prints a unique matte finish and effectively hides layer lines, providing a smooth, premium look.

Display of Prints

Bambu PLA-CF could be paired with any PLA series filament to make your prints more colorful and achieve various texture requirements.

Improved mechanical properties

Bambu PLA-CF exceeds the mechanical properties of PLA Matte in XY Bending Strength, Z Bending Strength, XY Bending Modulus, Z Bending Modulus, XY Impact Strength, and Z Impact Strength by between 20% and 115%, making it more suitable for printing models with higher strength requirements.

Mechanical Properties Comparison

	PLA Matte	PLA-CF	Improved %
Tensile Strength - XY/MPa	32	38	19%
Tensile Strength - Z/MPa	25	26	4%
Bending Strength - XY/MPa	53	89	68%
Bending Strength - Z/MPa	32	49	53%
Bending Modulus - XY/MPa	2360	3950	67%
Bending Modulus - Z/MPa	2040	2260	10%
Impact Strength - XY/(kJ/m²)	19.2	23.2	20%
Impact Strength - Z/(kJ/m²)	6.6	7.8	18%

*Drying PLA is recommended for humid environments at 55 °C for 8 hours before printing.

Stablized printing dimension

Bambu PLA-CF features low shrinkage and warping resistance to achieve a perfect matching accuracy between prints parts.

Minimal effort in support removal

Bambu PLA-CF is designed to support itself. It can be removed more easily compared to regular PLA, and still maintains a smooth support surface.

Not prone to clogging in high-speed printing

Bambu PLA-CF is just as easy to print as regular PLA. It can be printed smoothly and consistently at high speed without clogging.
