Filament Covestro Addigy® F1030 CF10

Addigy® F1030 CF10 is a new polyamide for 3D printing parts with properties close to what is usually achievable only by injection molding. With a loading of 10% carbon fiber, it produces stronger, tougher and stiffer 3D printed parts while it can be printed at the same speeds as unreinforced plastics.

Addigy® F1030 CF10 is a new carbon fiber filled PA6/66 copolymer filament for 3D printing durable structural parts with high dimensional stability, warpage free. Filled with only 10% of actual carbon fiber – much lower than most carbon filled materials – Addigy® F1030 CF10 enables parts that are stronger, stiffer and tougher parts with higher tensile strength and modulus. Designed especially for 3D printing, its excellent mechanical properties and smooth appearance make it ideal for demanding automotive structural applications that require robust performance at elevated temperatures. The material can be printed on standard desktop fused filament fabrication (FFF) machines with a hardened nozzle. Tests have shown that users can run their printers at the same speeds as with unreinforced plastics, while achieving considerably better strength and toughness

Key benefits of Addigy® F1030 CF10

• 3D printable at same speed as unreinforced plastics thanks to low carbon loading of 10%,

• enables properties close to what is usually achievable only by injection molding,

• durable parts with good mechanical properties due to high inter-layer strength,

• made from Covestro Addigy® copolyamide PA6/66, which is used in automotive and electronics for many years,

• very low warpage compared to unfilled PA,

• characteristic matte black surface-finish with less roughness.

Support materials compatible with Covestro Addigy® F1030 CF10

Covestro Addigy® F1030 CF10 is compatible with 3DGence ESM-10 support material, offering a versatile solution for complex 3D printing applications. The compatibility with ESM-10 enables the use of soluble supports, which can be easily removed thus simplifying post-processing. Utilizing supports in 3D printing provides several advantages, including the ability to create intricate geometries, overhangs, and detailed internal structures that would be impossible to achieve with unsupported prints. This compatibility not only enhances the design freedom for engineers and designers but also improves the overall quality and precision of the final printed parts.
