Features & Benefits

Product Highlights
  • By combining acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and carbon fibers, Nanovia ABS CF allows for increased mechanical properties when compared to native ABS, and easier printing thanks to reduced warping.
  • With its increased stiffness (Young Modulus 2700 Mpa compared to 2000 Mpa for Nanovia ABS EF), Nanovia ABS CF is ideal for tooling and functional 3D prints.
  • Nanovia ABS CF is compatible with most commercially available 3D printers equipped with a heated bed.
Advantages
  • Increased mechanical resistance compared to native ABS.
  • Low warping.
  • Good bed adhesion.
  • Thermal resistance.

Application Recommendations

Printing

  • With it’s printing settings close to standard, the Nanovia ABS CF filament can be used on most commercially available 3D printers.
  • In order to protect your equipment we recommend using a nozzle adapted for abrasive materials

Post treatment

For an outdoor usage, we recommend that you paint your print or submit them to an anti UV treatment, such as our Nanovia smoothing solution. ABS is sensitive to UV radiation.

Safety & Health

Health and Safety

Printing

We recommend printing Nanovia ABS CF in a room equipped with air extraction or by using appropriate breathing equipment. Whilst printing ABS produces a VOC derivative of styrene.


Post treatment

We recommend wearing standard safety equipment during the post treatment of your prints made with Nanovia ABS CF.
