High strength-to-weight polymers
When you need stiffness per gram, we run carbon-reinforced FDM grades. FDM Nylon 12CF (35% chopped carbon fiber) has the highest flexural strength of any FDM thermoplastic, with a 1.37 Mpsi tensile modulus. Antero 840CN03 combines PEKK structural performance with intrinsic ESD safety.
