Why teams choose FDM Nylon 12CF
FDM Nylon 12CF is reinforced with 35% chopped carbon fiber for an exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio, the highest flexural strength of any FDM material in our portfolio.
Use it for structural brackets, lightweight enclosures, robotic end-of-arm tooling, and replacement hardware where aluminum weight is unnecessary cost.
