Material
SLS Nylon PA6 Carbon Fiber
SLS PA6 carbon fiber is a stiff, dimensionally stable nylon composite with higher heat resistance than unfilled PA6. It is suitable for rigid structural parts, though it has low ductility.

About
SLS PA6 carbon fiber is PA6 nylon reinforced with carbon fiber. The fibers raise stiffness (tensile modulus 4,000-7,000 MPa vs. about 3,500 MPa for unfilled PA6), improve heat resistance, and reduce warping, while density rises only slightly. Strength gains are modest (65-95 MPa vs. 66-74 MPa) and elongation stays low (2-5%), so parts are rigid but brittle. The PA6 base also still absorbs moisture, and properties can vary with part orientation.
SLS PA6 carbon fiber is a strong choice for rigid brackets, jigs and fixtures, and UAV or robotics components.
