Glass fibre-reinforced polyamide 6 for maximum strength

A robust filament designed for demanding mechanical and industrial parts

Le PA6-GF (Glass fibre-reinforced polyamide 6) is a filament ultra-resistantcombining the strength and flexibility of PA6 with the rigidity and wear resistance of glass fibres. This material is ideal for mechanical parts subject to high stress, industrial prototypes and structural componentsrequiring high dimensional stability and excellent resistance to impact and high temperatures.

Why choose PA6-GF

Excellent mechanical strength and impact resistancesuitable for functional rooms.
Reinforced rigidity thanks to glass fibres, ideal for mechanical stress.
Good thermal resistanceIt can withstand temperatures of up to 120°C.
High resistance to abrasion and wearperfect for gears and components subject to friction.
Low thermal expansionprecise, stable printing.

Applications of PA6-GF

Mechanical and industrial parts Gears, supports, fixings, articulated arms.
High-strength functional prototypes Testing parts subjected to heavy loads.
Automotive and aeronautical components Structural parts, high-temperature fasteners.
Wear-resistant technical components Bearings, guides, parts in contact with other mechanical surfaces.

When not to choose PA6-GF

🚫 Printing requiring flexibility

  • Alternative : TPU 95A for flexible, impact-resistant parts.

🚫 Prolonged exposure to humidity without prior drying

  • Alternative : PAHT-CFwhich is more stable to humidity.

🚫 Printing requiring ease of use

  • Alternative : PETG-CF, ASA-CF for improved printability.

🚫 Parts requiring a smooth, attractive finish

  • Alternative : ABS, ASA for easier post-treatment (sanding and painting).
