FAQs Q: If I own a Fortus 450mc with a High Performance Upgrade can I run Nylon 12CF? A: Yes, however the hardware upgrade (PN 316-63500) needs to be purchased due to the abrasive nature of the filament. Q: What support material is used with Nylon 12CF? A: SR-110, which is the same material as Nylon 12. Q: Can the T20C tip be used with other materials? A: No, not at this time, the T20C tip is specifically hardened for use with Nylon 12CF material. Q: Can I use the CF head with other materials? A: Customers will have two delivery heads. The Nylon 12CF head and the head for all other materials. Customers will need to swap heads when they run different materials. A docking station for the head when it is not in use is included with the purchase of the material option. The head is a user changeable, so no service visit is required for the change. The Nylon 12CF head can run ASA as well. The other materials were not tuned with the N12CF head. 12 STRATASYS / THE 3D PRINTING SOLUTIONS COMPANY
FAQs Q: How is the surface quality of Nylon12 CF compared to the current Nylon 12 we have? A. It depends on the geometry, it can be very nice in Z, but very rough in XY due to the carbon fibers in the resin. This is a material for functional testing and use, not necessarily for aesthetics. Q: What is the Z strength of Nylon 12CF? A: It is 4990 PSI, similar to Nylon 12. The carbon fibers are aligned in the XY and do not add any strength in the Z direction. Q: What are the particulars regarding ESD? A: Nylon 12CF has ESD properties. The surface and volume resistivity, it is better than ABS-ESD7. Almost conductive, but not quite. Resistivity, Surface (ohms) 3.3x10^6 to 6.9x10^7; Resistivity, Volume (ohms) 5.4x10^6 to 3.9x10^7. Q: Is there print speed differences between Nylon 12CF and Nylon 12? A: Based on Insight 11.2 estimates, Nylon 12CF builds approximately 10-12% slower than Nylon 12. Q: How do I learn the best ways to use Nylon 12CF? A: An application guide is available explaining the best practices for being successful with this material. Q: How much carbon is in Nylon 12CF? A: Nylon 12CF uses a chopped fiber averaging around 150 microns in length, filled at 35% by weight with the Nylon 12 resin. 13 STRATASYS / THE 3D PRINTING SOLUTIONS COMPANY
