I. Material Overview

PETG – 10% Carbon is a composite pellet developed specifically for Filament Grade PETG substrates, containing 10% high-modulus carbon fiber and 90% Filament Grade PETG resin. In PETG – 10% Carbon, carbon fiber enhances mechanical properties, while Filament Grade PETG retains impact resistance and processability. The resulting PETG – 10% Carbon Fiber Pellets are compatible with the FGF 3D Printing process, addressing the issue of insufficient strength in pure PETG. PETG – 10% Carbon pellets feature uniform particle size and excellent carbon fiber dispersion, providing stable feeding and molding quality for FGF 3D Printing. PETG – 10% Carbon Fiber Pellets are specialized materials for FGF 3D Printing that balance strength and moldability.

II. Key Material Properties (PETG – 10% Carbon)

1.

Tensile Strength

Printed parts made from PETG – 10% Carbon achieve a tensile strength of 58MPa, a 45% increase compared to pure PETG. After FGF 3D Printing with PETG – 10% Carbon Fiber Pellets, the directional arrangement of fibers further enhances tensile performance, meeting the stress requirements of structural components.

2.

Flexural Modulus

The flexural modulus of PETG – 10% Carbon is 2800MPa, 2.2 times that of pure PETG. The synergistic effect between the Filament Grade PETG substrate and carbon fiber ensures minimal deformation of printed parts from PETG – 10% Carbon Fiber Pellets under stress, making it suitable for FGF 3D Printing of high-precision structural components.

3.

Heat Deflection Temperature

The heat deflection temperature (at 1.82MPa) of PETG – 10% Carbon reaches 85℃, 30℃ higher than pure PETG. Printed parts from PETG – 10% Carbon Fiber Pellets can be used in medium-temperature environments, expanding FGF 3D Printing applications to fields such as automotive interiors.

4.

Impact Strength

The Izod impact strength (unnotched) of PETG – 10% Carbon is 8.5kJ/m², retaining the toughness of Filament Grade PETG and avoiding the brittleness common in carbon fiber-reinforced materials. PETG – 10% Carbon Fiber Pellets are ideal for FGF 3D Printing of impact-resistant enclosures.

5.

Molding Shrinkage Rate

The molding shrinkage rate of PETG – 10% Carbon is only 0.8%, significantly lower than the 1.5% of pure PETG. Printed parts from PETG – 10% Carbon Fiber Pellets via FGF 3D Printing offer high dimensional accuracy, reducing post-processing and improving production efficiency.

III. Main Material Applications

Based on the properties of PETG – 10% Carbon, PETG – 10% Carbon Fiber Pellets are primarily used in the FGF 3D Printing field. In the automotive industry, they are used to manufacture lightweight structural parts such as instrument panel brackets and sensor housings; in the electronics sector, for high-strength connectors and equipment frames; in the drone industry, for fuselage skeletons and propellers; in industrial settings, for custom tooling fixtures and inspection jigs; and in the medical field, for disinfectant-resistant device enclosures. PETG – 10% Carbon balances performance and safety, with the Filament Grade PETG substrate meeting environmental requirements, making PETG – 10% Carbon Fiber Pellets suitable for FGF 3D Printing needs across multiple industries.

IV. Application Case of PETG – 10% Carbon in Drone Fuselage Manufacturing

A drone manufacturer used PETG – 10% Carbon Fiber Pellets to produce medium-sized drone fuselages (1.2m wingspan) via FGF 3D Printing. The high rigidity of PETG – 10% Carbon (2800MPa flexural modulus) ensures resistance to wind-induced deformation, while its 85℃ heat deflection temperature adapts to high-altitude environments. The 0.8% low shrinkage rate guarantees precise assembly of the fuselage with motors and battery compartments. Compared to traditional ABS printed parts, fuselages printed with PETG – 10% Carbon are 18% lighter, 40% stronger, and offer 12 minutes of extended battery life. Using the FGF 3D Printing process with PETG – 10% Carbon Fiber Pellets, the manufacturer achieved small-batch custom production, reducing lead times to 3 days.
