Spectrum PET CF15 1.75mm 0,75kg

Very strong and rigid

Filament Spectrum PET CF15 is made with LUVOCOM® 3F PET CF 9780 BK. The quality of the filament was entirely checked and is certified by Lehmann&Voss&Co KG.

Spectrum  PET CF15 (made with LUVOCOM® 3F PET CF 9780 BK) is a black through-dyed material based on polyethylene terephthalate (PET). It is the easiest-to-print material filled with carbon fibre on the market and shows much better temperature and mechanical properties than PET-G based materials. It presents no retraction issues and does not require a heating chamber. It demonstrates a perfect surface finish directly from the printer, thus reducing the need for further treatments.

Spectrum PET CF15 (made with LUVOCOM® 3F PET CF 9780 BK) is compatible with support materials such as HIPS-X and can be used to print very strong and rigid items. It features a low impact of moisture and temperature on dimensions.

To attain the very attractive properties of Spectrum PET CF15 (made with LUVOCOM® 3F PET CF 9780 BK), as regards the technical aspects, you need to follow the basic storage rules for such materials (in a dry and dark place with humidity below 15%). To obtain the best parameters of the printed object possible, it is recommended to dry the material prior to work.

Tip: Due to the essential content of chopped carbon fire, it is recommended to use nozzles with diameters exceeding the standard value of 0.4mm. The presence of carbon fibre may also cause wear of standard nozzles; thus it is recommended to use hardened steel or ruby nozzles for prolonged application of Spectrum PET CF15 (made with LUVOCOM® 3F PET CF 9780 BK).

Packaging
Filament is reeled on the neat, transparent spool. Each spool contains information on the type of material, diameter and recommended printing temperature. Filament is vacuum-packed with a moisture absorber. Whole product packed in the original, folied Spectrum Filaments packaging.

VERIFY YOUR SPOOL – the most precise quality control system on  the market
Filament for 3D printers is manufactured by the method of free extrusion, which is one of the most difficult processing techniques by extrusion, due to the particularly significant impact of process parameters on product dimensions and material homogenization.

During the production each 1mm of Spectrum Filament is being continuously measured in 2 axes with ±0.8µm accuracy, which allow obtaining a high-quality final product. To prove this, Spectrum Filaments, as one of the few manufacturers in the world, has introduced the possibility of online presentation, individually for each manufactured spool:

• the course of diameter on the entire length of the spool,
• mean diameter,
• ovality,
• standard deviation.

Precise survey guarantees that Spectrum Filaments products meet rigorous market requirements.
