What is HI-TEMP CF 3D printing filament?

 BigRep’s HI-TEMP CF is a PLA blend reinforced with 10% chopped carbon fiber to increase stiffness and strength. It has a good strength-to-weight ratio and has been optimized for large-format extrusion.

 Mechanical Properties

With a tensile strength of 65 MPa, BigRep HI-TEMP CF can withstand significant stresses and loads without breaking. It is also lightweight, with a density of 1.20 g/cm³.

Thermal Properties

BigRep HI-TEMP CF has a high heat deflection temperature (HDT) of up to 115 °C, surpassing the heat resistance of ABS, ASA, and HI-TEMP materials.

Chemical Properties

While resistant to UV exposure, HI-TEMP CF is susceptible to some chemical degradation. It is recommended to avoid exposure to strong oxidizing agents and strong acids.

Featured Application


Helicopter Blade Restraint Cradles

Aerospace and defense giant Leonardo - tasked by the Ministry of Defence to provide AgustaWestland AW101s for the Royal Navy - found that their pre-existing rotor blade restraint cradles were not living up to their standard. They turned to SFM Technology for the solution, resulting in the first 3D-printed main rotor blade restraint cradle, which was printed using BigRep's HI-TEMP CF.
