Today Stratasys introduced a new ABS-based carbon fiber material for its line of F123 Series™ 3D printers — FDM® ABS-CF10.

The material properties of FDM ABS-CF10, featuring 10% chopped carbon fiber, make it a compelling alternative to metal parts. In fact, the material is 15% stronger and more than 50% stiffer than standard ABS, without the weight of metal, and can be printed with a high degree of accuracy.
QSR Support™ water-soluble material makes it possible to 3D print intricate and complex parts without time-consuming manual support removal.
So what applications make the most sense here? Tools, jigs, fixtures and end effectors that benefit from the combination of increased stiffness and reduced weight.

What we love about the FDM ABS-CF10 material is that it is the first composite material for the F series platform (F170™, F270™, and F370™ 3D printers). Many of our customers love and use their F series 3D printers all the time, and this makes for a great material addition for those looking for more stiffness but less weight when designing and printing parts.
