Note: The mechanical properties of PAHT-CF can only be achieved after annealing treatment (baking at 120°C). The mechanical performance data are test results in the XY direction.

Mechanical Property Definitions:

● Strength: the ability of material to withstand an applied load without failure or plastic deformation.

● Stiffness: the extent to which an object resists deformation in response to an applied force. The complementary concept is flexibility

● Toughness: the ability of a material to absorb energy and plastically deform without fracturing. The complementary concept is brittleness.

● Heat resistance: the ability of a material to maintain its original physical and mechanical properties under heat.

Conclusion

It can be seen that these three materials each have their unique characteristics, meeting the functional requirements of different levels and industrial needs:

● PETG-CF is an excellent balance of rigidity and toughness, suitable for multifunctional structural components.

● PETG-GF leans more towards abrasion resistance and fatigue resistance, suitable for parts with high durability requirements.

● PAHT-CF has industry-leading high-temperature tolerance and strength, suitable for extreme environments and professional manufacturing.

Printing Tips

Printer Setup

When printing PAHT-CF, PETG-CF, and PETG-GF using FDM printers, it is recommended to use hardened steel nozzles with a diameter of 0.4 mm or above. Among them, PETG-CF and PETG-GF can be printed using open printers, while PAHT-CF requires an enclosed printer.

Storage and Maintenance

To ensure optimal print quality, these three new materials are recommended to be stored in a dry environment and dried before use. Proper storage ensures stable printing performance.
