Creality PPA-CF Filament 1.75 mm — Carbon-Fiber Composite for Industrial 3D Printing

Creality PPA-CF is a premium next-generation carbon-fiber-filled filament designed for high-load engineering applications. PPA (polyphthalamide) reinforced with carbon fiber delivers an exceptional balance of strength, stiffness, and thermal stability, outperforming standard PA-CF and competing with PEEK/PEKK in a more affordable segment.

Advantages

• High heat resistance: Operates at temperatures up to 220 °C without deformation — ideal for engine and electronic components.
• Mechanical strength: Carbon fiber increases stiffness by 3–4× compared to pure PPA, tensile strength up to 120 MPa.
• Chemical resistance: Resistant to oils, fuels, and alkalis — perfect for automotive and chemical industries.
• Low warping: Minimal shrinkage thanks to an optimized formulation, printing possible without an enclosure.
• Speed: 40–80 mm/s
• Nozzle: Hardened steel or ruby (0.4–0.6 mm)
• Drying: 80 °C / 8–12 hours before printing
• Storage: Vacuum-sealed with desiccant

Printing Recommendations

Applications

Gear prototypes, brackets, electronic housings, drones, tools. Creality PPA-CF is a cost-effective alternative to BASF Ultramid, optimized for FDM 3D printing.
