Product variants
Spectrum Filament PA6 Low Warp CF15S is an engineering nylon filament filled with 15% short carbon fibers. It combines the mechanical strength of polyamide PA6 with high dimensional stability and minimal shrinkage during printing, making it ideal for technically demanding and functional parts.
Key features
The material is based on polycaprolactam (PA6) enriched with milled carbon fibers, which significantly increase stiffness, thermal stability and reduce susceptibility to deformation. Thanks to the modified formulation, processing shrinkage is only about 0.3%, which minimizes the warping effect even on larger parts.
PA6 CF15S is characterized by high impact toughness, chemical resistance to fuels, oils and lubricants, and self-lubricating properties that allow use in friction assemblies. The material also has very good electrical insulation properties and exhibits physiological indifference. High interlayer adhesion ensures minimal risk of delamination of printed parts.

Who is Spectrum Filament PA6 Low Warp CF15S suitable for
The filament is designed for advanced users and professionals who need to print technically demanding and functional parts with high mechanical and chemical resistance. Typical applications include plain bearings, scrapers and guide rollers operating at elevated temperatures, sealing rings and plates with increased chemical resistance, tools and jigs, spare parts for engineering, functional prototypes and end-use components.
Tips for use
- Always thoroughly dry the material before printing - polyamides are highly hygroscopic and moist filament loses its mechanical properties.
- Use a hardened nozzle (steel, ruby, carbide) - carbon fibers are highly abrasive and quickly wear out a brass nozzle.
- For increased bed adhesion, use a glue stick, PVA spray or a special nylon adhesion product.
- Print in an enclosed chamber for even cooling and to minimize internal stress.
- Keep part cooling to a minimum - PA6 holds layers better without an active fan.
- After printing, immediately return the spool to a vacuum bag with silica gel or to a filament dryer.
- Verify extruder compatibility - CF materials require all components of the filament path to be wear-resistant.
