Filament Spectrum S-Flex Carbon

Extraordinary synergy of flexibility and durability

Filament S-Flex Carbon is an innovative 3D printing material that seamlessly combines the flexibility of traditional flex filament with the added strength and durability provided by a 20% carbon fiber reinforcement. This hybrid material offers a wide range of applications thanks to its unique combination of properties.

In essence, S-Flex Carbon Filament retains a flexibility (90A Shore hardness) and elasticity similar to standard flex materials, making it an excellent choice for projects that require bending and resilience. However, what sets it apart is the addition of carbon fiber, which dramatically improves its mechanical properties. The carbon fiber reinforcement imparts impressive tensile strength, stiffness, resistance to deformation, and increased chemical resistance. Additionally, S-Flex Carbon filament exhibits excellent resistance to elevated temperatures, further expanding its usability.

The carbon fiber content provides electrical conductivity to 3D-printed components, making this filament ideal for applications requiring protection against electrostatic discharges (ESD).

Filament S-Flex Carbon offers an exceptional synergy of flexibility and strength, making it a versatile 3D printing material suitable for various applications across multiple industries. Whether you need durable prototypes or sturdy end-use parts, this material provides the right balance to meet your requirements.

Packaging

Filament is reeled on the neat, transparent spool. Each spool contains information on the type of material, diameter and recommended printing temperature. Filament is vacuum-packed with a moisture absorber. Whole product packed in the original, folied Spectrum Filaments packaging.

VERIFY YOUR SPOOL – the most precise quality control system on  the market

Filament for 3D printers is manufactured by the method of free extrusion, which is one of the most difficult processing techniques by extrusion, due to the particularly significant impact of process parameters on product dimensions and material homogenization.

During the production each 1mm of Spectrum Filament is being continuously measured in 2 axes with ±0.8µm accuracy, which allow obtaining a high-quality final product. To prove this, Spectrum Filaments, as one of the few manufacturers in the world, has introduced the possibility of online presentation, individually for each manufactured spool:

• the course of diameter on the entire length of the spool,
• mean diameter,
• ovality,
• standard deviation.

Precise survey guarantees that Spectrum Filaments products meet rigorous market requirements.
