Where PLA-CF Falls Short: Strength, Clogging & Durability

Does Carbon Fiber Always Make PLA-CF Stronger? Carbon fiber reinforcement increases the rigidity of PLA-based composites, but higher stiffness does not guarantee better performance under every type of mechanical load. Our Filoostry PLA-CF mechanical test results demonstrate an important difference between XY and Z printing directions. The measured tensile strength reaches 50 ± 1 MPa […]
