Bambu Lab PA6-GF
is a high-performance technical plastic reinforced with glass fibre and has excellent strength, durability and shape stability. The glass fibre reinforcement makes it extremely tough and allows PA6-GF to withstand heavy loads without bending or breaking.
With a high heat resistance of up to 182°C, the filament retains its mechanical properties even at higher temperatures. This makes it ideal for printing objects for challenging industrial and automotive applications. Furthermore, the material has very good resistance to chemicals, oils and many types of solvents.
► Drying before use is recommended when printing with PA6-GF filaments!
Tip: All printing parameters are embedded in RFID and are read automatically by the AMS/AMS lite.
Note! Use a wear-resistant nozzle with a minimum diameter of 0.4 mm.
Bambu PA6-GF - Glass Fiber Reinforced Nylon
Bambu PA6-GF, also known as Nylon 6 with Glass Fiber, stands at the forefront of high-performance engineering plastics. Engineered to deliver exceptional strength, durability, dimensional stability. The PA6-GF is also more cost effective when compared to other top tier engineering filaments.
Bambu PA6-GF is exceptionally strong and durable due to reinforced glass fibers, making it the perfect choice for prints that need to withstand heavy use and resist bending or breaking.
* Note: The printed part achieves better toughness after exposure to moisture.
