PPA-CF Filament

Whether you’re printing end-use parts, structural components or lightweight tooling, PPA-CF is the material professionals turn to. What Is PPA-CF? PPA-CF stands for Polyphthalamide reinforced with Carbon Fibre, a composite filament engineered for strength, stiffness, and high thermal resistance. Its base polymer, PPA, is part of the nylon family but with added chemical and thermal stability, making it ideal for industrial applications. Reinforced with carbon fibre, this material offers a much higher strength-to-weight ratio than unfilled polymers. You get ultra-low warpage, minimal shrinkage, and excellent surface finish, without sacrificing printability. Even on demanding hardware, like enclosed or high-temperature systems, PPA-CF shines. And if you’re running a Bambu Lab printer with hardened nozzles, you’re already well-equipped to handle this material with confidence. Why Choose PPA-CF? Engineered for the toughest environments, PPA-CF is a favourite among engineers, product designers, and manufacturers for good reason. Key advantages include: Exceptional strength and rigidity for high-stress parts • Thermal resistance up to 280°C (varies by brand) • Superb dimensional stability, even in demanding geometries • Chemical resistance to oils, fuels, and solvents • Lightweight construction, ideal for load-bearing applications From automotive housings to jigs and fixtures for manufacturing lines, PPA-CF is made for serious work. Optimised for Professional Results At Additive-X, we stock PPA-CF filaments from leading material innovators who specialise in industrial-grade performance. Our selection includes filaments that print reliably with reduced stringing and warping, so you can spend less time troubleshooting and more time producing. These filaments are compatible with a wide range of high-performance 3D printers, including those with all-metal hot ends and heated chambers. And if you're working on a Bambu Lab system, we’re happy to advise on nozzle upgrades and print settings to get the most out of your PPA-CF workflow.
