MATERIAL OVERVIEW
Properties to guide your selection.
Carbon-fibre-filled PLA offers a stiffer feel and a matte surface for models or components where rigidity and appearance matter. Reinforcement changes its behaviour compared with unfilled PLA.
Selection considerations
Specify the required stiffness and surface appearance.
