Polymaker’s PA6-CF Review

Apr 30, 2024

Polymaker's PA6-CF produces parts that almost feel like they were made with MJF. For those new to 3D printing, MJF refers to Multi Jet Fusion, a high-end printing process known for producing durable nylon parts. What's thrilling is how the FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) parts we've printed using Polymaker's PA6-CF are showing comparable qualities. The nylon material isn’t just strong; it possesses a distinctive, grainy appearance that mimics the high-quality finish typically seen in powder-based printing processes like MJF.

Let's delve a bit deeper into why this is exciting. Markforged, renowned for its high-end FFF machines, has set a benchmark with its impressive Nylon and Carbon fiber composite filaments. These materials were so groundbreaking we found ourselves integrating them into our operations, even though we we're not using a Markforged machine. The results? Impressive, though not without the high cost. This brings us to Polymaker’s PA6-CF filament, which offers a powerful, cost-effective alternative. You can purchase this filament through our store here. Or, if you would like to have parts 3D printed from this material, get an instant quote through our portal here, or book a meeting with us here.
