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.
