PPA-CF:
Bambu PPA-CF is a premium fiber-reinforced PolyPthalAmide that delivers industrial-grade printing quality with precise 1:1 reproduction. It is renowned for its exceptional mechanical properties and reliable performance in humid or high temperature environments. PPA-CF is ideal for engineering applications, from mechanical prototypes to automotive components and more. Additionally, its board printer compatibility sets a new standard for professional engineering filaments.
Compatibility:
Bambu PPA-CF is compatible with P1S, X1C and X1E 3D printers. It requires an enclosure and a hardened steel nozzle. This filament is easier to use, printing smoothly at nozzle temperatures between 280°C and 310°C.
Features:
- Superb Dimensional Stability:
- Regardless of high temperatures or high humidity and other harsh application scenarios, the parts will retain its ultra-high dimensional stability.
- Suitable for Underwater Use:
- Bambu PPA-CF supports long term, stable use in humid environments, even underwater. It's absorption rate is 66% lower than normal PA6-CF and it maintains its stiffness and thermal properties over time.
- Top-Tier Mechanical Properties:
- The Stiffness of Bambu PPA-CF is almost twice the stiffness of Bambu PAHT-CF and PA6-CF.
- The Strength of Bambu PPA-CF is about 40% stronger than Bambu PAHT-CF and PA6-CF.
- High Heat Deflection Temperature:
- Bambu PPA-CF deflects at 227°C. Bambu PAHT-CF and PA6-CF deflects at 194°C and 186°C respectively.
PPS-CF:
Bambu PPS-CF is a composite material made from carbon fiber-reinforced PolyPhenylene Sulfide. The combination of PPS resin and carbon fiber gives PPS-CF exceptional properties, including excellent resistance to solvents, corrosion, heat and flames. Additionally, it offers superior strength, stiffness and dimensional stability. This makes it a specialized engineering plastic that meets the demands of unique and challenging applications. PPS-CF can be printed on Bambu Lab X1E.
Features:
- Ultra-High Heat Resistance:
- PPS-CF boasts a heat deflection temperature of up to 264°C under 0.45MPa and can continuously operate at temperatures exceeding 200°C. This significantly outperforms normal PA-CF materials, which have maximum temperature around 190°C and 220°C. Its exceptional heat resistance ensures outstanding creep resistance, making PPS-CF ideal for demanding industrial environments and applications.
- Superior Flame Retardancy:
- PPS-CF achieves a UL-94 V-0 flame retardant rating, distinguishing it in high-risk applications. The incorporation of carbon fibre enhances its flame-retardant properties beyond those of normal PPS, offering superior safety and reliability in critical areas such as electronics and automotive components. PPS-CF provides long-lasting durability and peace of mind in even the most demanding environments.
- Solvent and Chemical Resistance:
- PPS-CF offers outstanding solvent and chemical resistance, second only to PTFE. It remains virtually insoluble in any solvent below 200°C and exhibits exceptional resistance to acids, bases and salts under normal conditions. This makes PPS-CF the ideal choice for challenging environments where chemical stability is critical.
- Ultra-Low Water Absorption:
- PPS-CF itself has ultra-low water absorption. Its saturated water absorption rate is about 0.02% and maintains mechanical and thermal properties despite moisture absorption.
ASA-CF:
Bambu ASA-CF is engineered for harsh outdoor conditions, Bambu ASA-CF offers exceptional weather and UV resistance, retaining the advantages of ASA while adding carbon fiber for increased stiffness and dimensional stability. This makes it the perfect choice for large-scale models requiring durability and precision in demanding environments.
Features:
- Superior Outdoor Durability:
- Bambu ASA-CF stands out as one of the top materials for outdoor use, with excellent resistance to harsh weather and UV exposure. Reinforced with carbon fiber, it's ideal for creating durable garden tools, outdoor furniture and protective enclosures for electronics.
- Optimized for Large Models:
- With carbon fiber reducing warping, Bambu ASA-CF ensures outstanding dimensional stability, making it ideal for large models or parts that require high precision, such as those in assembly.
- Sleek Matte Finish:
- The smooth matte surface, with minimal visible laser lines, gives Bambu ASA-CF a refined, natural appearance, perfect for detailed models like planters and other outdoor decor.
- Enhanced Stiffness for High Load-Bearing Parts:
- Bambu ASA-CF offers 67% more stiffness compared to standard ASA, making it the go-to material for parts that need to withstand significant load and resist bending, such as camping accessories, plant stands or other outdoor furniture.
