Carbon fiber ABS is ABS reinforced with chopped carbon fiber (typically 10–15%), giving much higher stiffness and slightly better heat resistance than standard ABS, though it is less ductile.
Carbon fiber ABS is ABS reinforced with chopped carbon fiber, typically 10–15%. The fibers raise stiffness and dimensional stability, while heat deflection rises modestly. Strength gains are small, and ductility drops. It is not lighter than standard ABS.
Carbon fiber ABS is well suited to rigid jigs, fixtures, and medium-duty functional parts.
