Xenia announces the launch of XECARB^® PPA-CF, a new 3D printing filament for FFF/FDM processes based on PPA and reinforced with 20% carbon fibre.

Developed on a bio-based PPA matrix, the material is engineered for demanding technical applications requiring superior mechanical performance, exceptional stiffness, dimensional stability and resistance to high temperatures.

Its outstanding chemical resistance also allows contact with solvents, oils and greases, a stringent requirement in industries where chemical compatibility is essential.

XECARB PPA-CF

XECARB PPA-CF features a density of 1.21 g/cm³ and a heat deflection temperature (HDT) of up to 235°C.

The carbon fibre reinforcement also reduces shrinkage and warpage, enhancing process repeatability and ensuring high dimensional accuracy of the final component.

APPLICATIONS

These characteristics enable the production of lightweight, high-performance structural parts, well suited for applications in the automotive, aerospace and industrial sectors, where reliability under mechanical load and high-temperature resistance are essential.

“XECARB PPA-CF delivers high mechanical, thermal and dimensional performance, which are key requirements for the production of structural components via FFF 3D printing.

The material is used in production tools and fixtures such as jigs, assembly masks, drilling guides and robotic gripping systems, as well as in technical components for high-stress industrial environments where resistance and operational reliability are critical”

– said Stefano Azzolin, Account Manager of Xenia’s 3DF Materials division.

With the introduction of XECARB PPA-CF, Xenia expands its 3DF Materials portfolio, which includes the following 3D printing filaments:
