Why Choose Nylon 11 CF Powder
Nylon 11 CF Power is a carbon-fiber reinforced material, ideal for producing stiff, strong, and lightweight end-use parts.
Carbon Fiber-Filled
Produce high-performance composite parts for strenuous end-use applications.
Stiff & Strong
Get the best of both worlds with the rigidity of carbon fibers and the ductility of nylon 11.
Lightweight
Push the limits of design with a high strength-to-weight ratio on top of the geometric freedom of 3D printing.
High Thermal Stability
Deliver heat-resistant parts for long-term use that maintain dimensional accuracy over time and can take repeated impact.
Applications
Nylon 11 CF Powder is our highest performance material for the Fuse 1+ 30W. Choose this material for parts that need to be strong, lightweight and stable over time, even at elevated temperatures.

* Nylon 12 White Powder is recommended to print in nitrogen to maintain the most consistent white appearance. Printing in air has been correlated with yellowing of powder over time. Powder yellowing has little to no impact on the ability and efficacy of dyeing printed parts.
** Nylon 11 Powder is recommended to print in nitrogen environment. Printing in air is possible, but will compromise material properties and lead to powder degradation at a faster rate.
Post-Processing
Post-processing with the Fuse Sift powder recovery station and media blasting is necessary. To learn more about post-processing Fuse Series prints, download our workflow guide.
