Good news! Our PETG-CF filament is back in stock. If you’re looking for a carbon fibre PETg filament that delivers superior mechanical properties, stunning aesthetics, and excellent printability, Filamentive CF-PETg is your go-to choice.
What is Carbon Fibre PETg Filament?
Carbon fibre is renowned for its high strength-to-weight ratio, making it a favourite in aerospace, automotive, and high-performance manufacturing. Now, you can bring these benefits to your 3D printing projects!
Filamentive CF-PETg filament is a composite material made of 85% PETg and 15% recycled carbon fibres. This composition enhances PETg’s natural durability with extreme stiffness and impact resistance. It is also dimensionally stable, meaning no warping, even for large prints. This makes it an excellent choice for projects requiring reliability and consistency, particularly when working on functional prototypes or production-grade parts.
Key Features of CF-PETg 3D Printing Filament
Matte black finish – Offers an aesthetically pleasing, smooth appearance with reduced layer visibility, giving your prints a professional and premium look.
Superior stiffness – The added carbon fibre reinforcement significantly enhances the rigidity of printed parts, making them more structurally robust and resistant to bending under pressure.
Impact resistance – Unlike brittle materials, CF-PETg provides high toughness, ensuring that printed parts can withstand mechanical stress and sudden impacts.
Heat resistance – With an operating temperature range of 75-80°C, this filament can be used in demanding applications where moderate thermal stability is required.
Low warping – The dimensional stability of CF-PETg reduces the chances of print deformation, making it highly reliable for large and intricate prints.
Recycled content – As part of our commitment to sustainability, this filament contains 15% recycled carbon fibre, offering an eco-conscious choice for responsible 3D printing.
3D Printing Applications: How Operators Use CF-PETg Filament
Due to its exceptional strength, stiffness, and thermal resistance, our carbon fibre PETg filament is perfect for applications where PLA and standard PETg fall short. Engineers, designers, and manufacturers are already leveraging its unique properties to enhance their projects.
3D Printing Functional Prototypes
CF-PETg filament enables engineers to validate designs, ensuring functional prototypes meet mechanical demands before full-scale production.

Key 3D Printing Considerations when using PET-CF filament
Filamentive CF-PETg is an abrasive filament, meaning it can cause accelerated wear on standard brass nozzles. To ensure consistent print quality and extend the lifespan of your hardware, we recommend using a hardened steel or ruby nozzle.
Recommended Print Settings:
Nozzle Temperature: 240±15°C – Ensures proper flow and adhesion for optimal print quality.
Bed Temperature: ≤70°C – Helps improve bed adhesion and minimises warping.
Nozzle Type: Hardened steel or ruby – Prevents excessive wear caused by the carbon fibre content.
Print Speed: A moderate speed provides the best balance between precision and strength.
Cooling Fan: Low fan can help with layer adhesion while reducing the risk of delamination.
