PA6-CNF – the next level in 3D printing materials

PA6-CNF is a cellulose nanofiber-reinforced polyamide 6. Compared to conventional materials, PA6-CNF offers significantly improved properties:

Up to twice the strength of PA12 (depending on the build orientation)
Very lightweight 3D printing material – lighter than traditional PLA-FDM parts
High-quality surfaces for functional components
High mechanical strength for industrial applications

Overview of Material Options

PA6-CNF DX205

– high-strength polyamide for maximum load capacity

The DX205 model is designed for maximum strength and rigidity.

Features:

High-strength polyamide 3D printing material
Very high stiffness
Durable

Typical applications:

Housing components
Structural components
Functional components under load

PA6-CNF BX113

– Flexible solutions in 3D printing

The BX113 model offers targeted flexibility and functional mobility.

Features:

Can be manufactured with thin walls
High resilience
Cycle-resistant

Typical applications that are virtually impossible to achieve with traditional FDM materials:

Film hinges
Clips and snap-fit connections
Spring elements

Perfect for functional and visible components

PA6-CNF not only impresses with its mechanical properties, but also offers a wide range of post-processing options. For example, the material is suitable for processes such as dyeing or chemical smoothing.

Chemical vapor smoothing produces a particularly uniform, high-quality surface. This makes it possible to create parts that are not only functional but also visually appealing—ideal for visible applications, presentation models, or design-critical components.

Typical applications for PA6 3D printing

PA6 3D printing is particularly suitable for:

Mechanical and Plant Engineering
Automotive Applications
Electronics enclosure
Lightweight structures

Specific examples:

Lightweight housing with high rigidity
Clips and snap-fit connections
Functional parts with integrated spring action
