Why Carbon-Fibre 3D Printing?

In modern manufacturing, lightweight and durable materials are essential for everything from jigs and fixtures to forming tools. That’s where ABS-CF10 shines.

ABS-CF10 is a thermoplastic reinforced with chopped carbon fibre—making it over 50% stiffer and 15% stronger than traditional ABS. With high dimensional accuracy, low moisture sensitivity and high stiffness-to-weight ratio, it’s ideal for:

Custom press brake tooling

Offset and flare dies

Ergonomic aids

End-effectors and alignment tools

Jigs and Fixtures

Low-volume production parts
