Jigs & fixtures
Fixtures, nests, clamps and replaceable inserts that must not deform under load.
PA6-CF Carbon Fiber Nylon
3D printing filament based on PA6 polyamide reinforced with chopped carbon fiber. Higher stiffness and dimensional stability than standard nylon or PLA — for functional parts, jigs and load-bearing structures.
Full filament range
Besides PA6-CF we offer PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, PC+, TPU, PA12, POM, PMMA and other engineering plastics — 46+ materials and 250+ colors in total. Full color list on request.

Applications
Drones & robotics
Frames, brackets and mounts where stiffness at low weight matters.
Automotive & automation
Functional parts, assembly-line fixtures, end-effector elements.
Lightweight metal replacement
Parts that used to be metal, where weight has become the deciding factor.
Why PA6-CF
Compared with standard nylon and PLA, stiffness is higher and parts hold their dimensions better across temperature swings, because carbon fiber hardly expands. The trade-off is lower impact resistance than unfilled PA — where a part takes sharp blows, unfilled nylon is the better choice.
Abrasiveness: carbon fiber wears brass nozzles within a print or two — fit a hardened steel or ruby nozzle before the first print, not after.

Is DIAMTECH a factory or a trading company?
DIAMTECH is a diamond trading and sourcing company, not a factory. We work directly with the Henan cluster, selecting and comparing products across plants and matching the best partner plant for each batch.
Which diameters and colours are available?
Standard diameter 1.75 mm. Besides the black base colour, 40+ materials and 250+ colours are available, including PC-CF, ASA-CF, PA12-CF, PVA and others.
Is it suitable for printing on an industrial FDM printer?
Yes — it prints using the default settings of industrial FDM printers. Drying the filament before printing is recommended; a 0.6 mm or larger nozzle reduces wear from the carbon fibre.
Do you have mechanical property data for PA6-CF?
Yes — we have our own measurements for PA6-CF: density 1.240 g/cm³, tensile strength 80.7 MPa, flexural strength 127.8 MPa, modulus 6165 MPa, IZOD impact 10.0, heat deflection 182.7 °C, Vicat 187.9 °C. The full protocol is available on request.
How is pricing calculated, and what are the volume terms?
Prices are not published on this site. Cost depends on grade, particle fraction, quantity and delivery terms, and is confirmed by inquiry. Describe your requirement by email and we will send a quotation.
Are samples available?
Samples are available, but the sample fee and freight are paid by the buyer (collect); both are credited to the first order. DIAMTECH does not offer free samples.
Which quality documents are available?
A COA is issued per batch on request. Test protocols from the Henan Provincial Quality Supervision & Inspection Center for Synthetic Diamond Micron Powder (Zhecheng) — China's only specialized state laboratory for micron powder — or from the National Center are available on request.
What are the payment terms?
TT: 30% deposit, balance before shipment. An invoice is provided.
