Material
SLS Nylon PA11 Carbon Fiber
SLS PA11 carbon fiber is a stiff, lightweight nylon composite with much higher stiffness and heat resistance under load than standard PA11. It is best used for rigid parts, though with less ductility.
Manufacturing processes
About
SLS PA11 carbon fiber is PA11 nylon reinforced with carbon fiber. The fibers make it roughly three to four times stiffer than unfilled PA11 and raise tensile strength to about 65-85 MPa, while density stays low.
Heat deflection under load rises to roughly 150-170 °C (47-70 °C for unfilled PA11). The trade-off is ductility: Elongation falls from about 30-45% to roughly 3-17%, depending on powder and direction, and strength is lower across the layers.
SLS PA11 carbon fiber is a good option for rigid, lightweight parts exposed to oils, detergents, or heat.
