3D Printing InfoPC-CF vs PA6-CF vs PA12-CF for structural components
Compare named carbon-filled FFF grades through service moisture, tensile direction, impact behavior and the processing needed to reproduce the published coupons.
Choose the moisture state and load direction first
For a stiff fixture, the relevant comparison is the grade after its intended printing, annealing and service exposure. The Fiberon results show a change in which nylon grade has the higher reported in-plane modulus after water conditioning. Prusament PC Blend Carbon Fiber has a separate yield dataset with different directional coverage. These sources support conditional screening, not a three-family strength ranking. Polymaker [details] · Polymaker [details] · Polymaker [details] · Polymaker [details] · Prusa Polymers a.s. [details]
Engineering interpretation. Carry forward PA6-CF20 when its measured dry stiffness is relevant to a moisture-controlled use. Investigate PA12-CF10 when retention through the documented water exposure matters. Keep the PC composite as a candidate to qualify against the same requirements, especially where matched conditioned or build-Z data are missing. None of these short coupon tests settles long-term deflection, a bolted joint or a component proof load. ASTM International [details] · Polymaker [details] · Polymaker [details] · Prusa Polymers a.s. [details]
Three commercial formulations, not three pure matrices
The grades here are Prusament PC Blend Carbon Fiber, Fiberon PA6-CF20 and Fiberon PA12-CF10. Their fillers and matrices are not matched experiments: Prusament does not disclose the fiber loading in this sheet, and Polymaker markets different fiber contents for the two nylons. Its PA12 product description identifies a long-chain copolyamide. These measurements cannot isolate the effect of changing only the base polymer. Prusa Polymers a.s. [details] · Polymaker [details] · Polymaker [details]
The nylon tables label their stress result only as tensile strength. They do not establish whether it is yield, the maximum stress or the stress at rupture. The Prusament sheet explicitly labels yield. Keep that distinction when a design criterion concerns permanent set, and keep tensile modulus separate from bending modulus. Polymaker [details] · Polymaker [details] · Prusa Polymers a.s. [details]
Read each protocol and moisture group separately
These are manufacturer FFF coupon results. The two Fiberon sheets share stated specimen temperatures, shell count, fill and annealing, but omit several test variables. Their dry and immersed groups remain separate below. The Prusament yield group and the notched-impact group use their own definitions and methods. An undefined ± term is not a design margin or a confidence interval. Polymaker [details] · Polymaker [details] · Prusa Polymers a.s. [details]

The impact-bar drawing shows 80 × 10 × 4 mm and a 45° notch, but not notch depth or tip radius. A component drop or joint impact still requires its own geometry and acceptance criterion. Polymaker [details] · Polymaker [details]
A dry stiffness advantage can disappear after conditioning
In the supplier dry XY data, PA6-CF20 has the higher tensile modulus. After the same duration and temperature of immersion, PA12-CF10 has the higher reported XY modulus. This is a comparison of the named formulations and these measured states. The wet specimens did not contain the same amount of water: the sheets report 5.30% for PA6-CF20 and 2.92% for PA12-CF10. Polymaker [details] · Polymaker [details] · Polymaker [details] · Polymaker [details] · Polymaker [details] · Polymaker [details]
Engineering interpretation. Use that change to define a verification boundary. A locating jig may be limited by the displacement after storage in humid air, while an intermittently loaded support may need both a displacement limit and an impact check. The hot-water exposure is not a prediction of how quickly either part changes in room air. Test at the expected service humidity and record actual specimen moisture where the decision depends on it. ASTM International [details] · Polymaker [details] · Polymaker [details]
Directional results do not make every axis comparable
Polymaker describes its Z label as layer-to-layer behavior. Its nylon tensile tables show lower values in that direction than in XY for the same reported state, while omitting a drawing or preparation route for the Z tensile specimens. The Prusament on-edge XZ sketch keeps coupon length along X. It cannot replace a missing PC-composite tensile test along build Z. Polymaker [details] · Polymaker [details] · Polymaker [details] · Polymaker [details] · Prusa Polymers a.s. [details]
Engineering interpretation. At a loaded bracket root or fastener lug, align the measured direction with the proposed tensile load path. If a critical interface is pulled apart across layers, ask for the specimen construction behind the supplier Z result and qualify your own process. A favorable in-plane modulus cannot supply that interface strength. Stratasys [details] · Prusa Polymers a.s. [details]
Conditioning can change impact and stiffness in different directions
The PA6-CF20 notched Charpy value rises in the water-conditioned group while its tensile modulus falls. That prevents a single stiffness score from standing in for all mechanical performance. The PA12-CF10 notched results remain close in the reported groups; without replicate count or a defined uncertainty term, that observation does not establish statistical equivalence. Polymaker [details] · Polymaker [details] · Polymaker [details] · Polymaker [details] · Polymaker [details]
Prusament separately reports notched Charpy values of 12 ± 1 kJ/m² for its flat coupons and 17 ± 2 kJ/m² on edge, with an edgewise blow under ISO 179-1. Moisture state and notch dimensions are not given, so those values are not added to the conditioned nylon ranking. Charpy energy per area is also not an allowable drop energy for a complete part. Prusa Polymers a.s. [details] · Prusa Polymers a.s. [details] · ASTM International [details]
Qualify the process that produced the evidence
The nylon mechanical specimens were printed at 300 °C onto a 50 °C bed, with full fill, two shells and cooling off, then annealed at 100 °C for 16 h. Their layer height, raster, printer and slicer are not supplied. The PC composite used an MK3S, 0.20 mm rectilinear layers, 285 °C nozzle, 115 °C bed and cooling off; its mechanical-table annealing state is unspecified. Treat those differences as part of each dataset. Polymaker [details] · Polymaker [details] · Prusa Polymers a.s. [details]
Engineering interpretation. Drying filament before extrusion and conditioning a finished part are different operations. Reproducing an annealed, immersed coupon calls for both a controlled print process and the stated post-print exposure. The PA12 web FAQ and TDS disagree about annealing duration; this article uses the sixteen-hour protocol attached to the mechanical results. Confirm the applicable revision before setting a production process. Polymaker [details] · Polymaker [details]
A Polymaker account identifies Fiberon PA6-CF20 in CURE Mannheim steering hardware and aerodynamic cores made by filament printing. It shows an engineering application of the named grade. The account does not report loads, process qualification or moisture history, so it cannot establish a safe load or service life for another component. Polymaker [details]
What remains unresolved
The expandable records preserve test identifiers, settings and source locators. Both suppliers omit specimen count and the meaning of their ± terms. The Fiberon strength endpoint and Z specimen preparation remain unresolved; the PC composite lacks a matched dry/wet or true build-Z tensile comparison. No creep curve, fatigue limit or bolted-joint retention is established by these tables. Polymaker [details] · Polymaker [details] · Prusa Polymers a.s. [details] · ASTM International [details]

Choose the next test from the failure mode
Engineering interpretation. The engineering decision is which grade and process can meet the component requirement after exposure. Set the acceptance limits before using the coupon numbers to choose a candidate. ASTM International [details]
Engineering interpretation. For a positioning fixture, measure deflection and permanent set in the intended geometry after representative moisture exposure, including the sustained load and service temperature.
Engineering interpretation. For a bracket with cross-layer tension, retain the exact grade, layer/raster settings, conditioning and build direction, then test that interface and the complete attachment.
Engineering interpretation. For impact service, reproduce the relevant strike and mounting conditions rather than converting Charpy energy per area into a component drop rating. ASTM International [details]
Engineering interpretation. If annealing is part of the proposed process, check the finished critical dimensions after annealing and after moisture conditioning; verify the entire route before release.

- The manufacturer identifies Fiberon PA6-CF20 in CURE Mannheim steering hardware and aerodynamic cores produced by filament printing. No loads, validation margins or conditioning history are supplied, so this example cannot qualify another design.
Why these Specific Polymaker Materials; final Example Components image captions. Polymaker [details] - tensile test scope
- Tensile properties depend on specimen preparation, rate and environment; modulus characterizes the initial response. Testing over different load durations and environments is needed for engineering use. ASTM D638 and ISO 527-1 have differing technical content.
Public Significance and Use §§4.1, 4.3–4.5 and Note 5; Scope §1.1 and Note 1. ASTM International [details] - impact test scope
- Specimen preparation, notch, conditioning and failure type affect impact results. A no-break observation is not an unlimited impact resistance. Results from different impact methods and specimen configurations do not establish a common ranking.
