Polyamide 3D Printer Filament Novamid ID 1030 designed for moulding engineering

Novamid® id1030 cf10 is a new PA6/66 grade of carbon-reinforced polyamide that brings properties of 3D printed parts close to what is usually achievable only by injection molding. With a 10% carbon fiber loading, printed parts are stronger, tougher, and stiffer than other FFF materials available while matching the easy and fast printing of unreinforced plastics.

The new carbon fiber filled Novamid® id1030 cf10 filament 3D prints durable, structural parts with high dimensional stability, warpage free. Despite the low carbon fiber loading of only 10% - much lower than other carbon filled materials - it creates parts that are clearly stronger, stiffer, and tougher with higher tensile strength and modulus.

Designed especially for 3D printing, these excellent mechanical properties and smooth appearance make it ideal for demanding and structural applications requiring robust performance and/or elevated temperatures across a broad range of markets.

The material is designed specifically for 3D printing and can be printed on standard desktop fused filament fabrication (FFF) machines with a hardened nozzle. Tests have shown that users can run their printers at the same speeds as with unreinforced plastics while achieving considerably better strength and toughness.
