PA12-CF is a carbon-fibre-reinforced nylon engineered for exceptional stiffness, strength, and dimensional stability. Combining the toughness of PA12 with the rigidity of carbon fibre, it delivers high strength-to-weight performance and low moisture absorption, ideal for functional and structural parts that demand precision and durability.

Optimised for FDM 3D printing, PA12-CF produces rigid, accurate components with a smooth matte finish and minimal warpage. It’s perfectly suited for automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications from brackets and housings to tooling and jigs — offering a reliable, lightweight alternative to machined metal parts.

At RYSE 3D, we’ve successfully used PA12-CF to manufacture:

• Structural brackets & housings – lightweight, aluminium-replacement strength
• Jigs, fixtures & tooling – rigid, low-warpage parts for industrial use
• Aerospace & drone components – high stiffness with vibration resistance
• Automotive ducts & under-bonnet parts – heat-resistant and dimensionally stable
• Robot grippers & clamps – durable under mechanical stress
• End-use functional parts – production-ready strength and finish
• Bike & motorsport accessories – lightweight and impact-resistant
• Precision prototypes – accurate, fatigue-resistant, and ready for testing
  

✅ In summary:
PA12-CF provides Lightweight, high-strength parts for automotive, aerospace, and industrial manufacturing — including brackets, tooling, fixtures, and end-use components that demand stiffness, heat resistance, and dimensional stability.

At RYSE 3D, our LANDR industrial FDM systems deliver production-grade parts with exceptional accuracy, surface quality, and mechanical strength. Designed and built in the UK, they offer unmatched material freedom from standard polymers to advanced carbon- and glass-filled composites.

Compared to traditional systems, LANDR printers achieve higher part performance, lower running costs, and true scalability making them ideal for functional prototypes, tooling, and end-use production.
