Product Details
- Carbon Fiber Reinforced PA12: Carbon fiber reinforcement improves rigidity, structural stability and resistance to deformation while maintaining the toughness of PA12 nylon. Suitable for brackets, gears, housings, fixtures and engineering prototypes.
- Lower Moisture Sensitivity: PA12 absorbs less moisture than many common nylon materials, helping printed parts maintain more stable dimensions in humid working environments. Store the filament dry for consistent extrusion and surface quality.
- Wear Resistant and Lightweight: The reinforced formulation provides a durable, low-friction surface for gears, rollers, clamps, sliding parts and frequently handled components. Its lightweight structure is also suitable for drone, robotic and automotive projects.
- Heat Stability and Matte Finish: PA12-CF is designed for functional parts used under elevated temperatures and mechanical loads. Carbon fiber creates a refined matte texture that helps reduce visible layer lines for a clean technical appearance.
- Recommended Printing Settings: Dry at 80°C for approximately 12 hours before printing. Start with a 260–280°C nozzle, 50–70°C heated bed and 60–150mm/s speed. Use a 0.4mm or larger hardened steel or other wear-resistant nozzle.

Printing IEMAI Nylon-CF
IEMAI Nylon-CF in Black is Nylon filled with chopped carbon fiber, and this listing is a 1kg spool. The fibers make parts stiffer and more dimensionally stable than plain Nylon, but they are abrasive, so a hardened nozzle is mandatory (see nozzle compatibility below). The ranges below are for Nylon-CF, which usually prints a little hotter than plain Nylon. Nylon-CF is best suited to strong, stiff engineering parts that must also tolerate heat. Brands and even individual spools vary, so treat these as starting points and run a quick temperature tower to lock in the sweet spot for your printer.
Ranges checked against Bambu Lab, Polymaker and Prusament data. Heat resistance is the heat deflection temperature (HDT). Read our carbon fiber filament guide for bed adhesion, drying, troubleshooting, and material-specific tips.
Nozzle Compatibility
Carbon fiber is abrasive and wears brass (and stainless) nozzles out of round, sometimes within a single spool. Use hardened steel or another wear resistant nozzle such as ruby or tungsten carbide. With hardened steel, start about 5 to 10°C hotter than you would with brass.
Based on Bambu Lab and Prusa guidance. More in our carbon fiber filament guide and nozzle types guide.
