More filament variants are already in development and will be released in response to user feedback and application needs.

Elegoo, a rapidly developing brand in global smart manufacturing, today announced the launch of its Fiber-Reinforced Filament Series, expanding FDM 3D printing's performance and versatility. The new lineup includes Carbon Fiber Reinforced PETG (PETG-CF), Glass Fiber Reinforced PETG (PETG-GF), and Carbon Fiber Reinforced High-Temperature Nylon (PAHT-CF), three high-performance materials offering improved strength, durability, and professional-quality results, starting at $9.99 USD/0.5KG. More filament variants are already in development and will be released in response to user feedback and application needs.

According to a recent Elegoo survey, low familiarity and higher costs are the main reasons why many users have yet to try fiber-reinforced filaments. "With Centauri Carbon, our FDM performance reached a new level. Now, we want to match it with equally capable materials," said Chris Hong, Founder and CEO of Elegoo. "Consumer 3D printing goes beyond toys. It's a tool for making practical, everyday items, and we hope more people experience that."

Elegoo's Fiber-Reinforced Filament Series

PETG-CF (black/grey): Combining the toughness of PETG with the rigidity of carbon fiber, it results in a material that offers high strength, rigidity, and abrasion resistance. With a low-gloss, matte surface finish that resists abrasion and hides layer lines, this filament is ideal for functional parts and outdoor items. Typical applications include fixtures, lightweight brackets, bicycle parts, enclosure components, gears, latches, automotive parts, and mechanical enclosures.

PETG-GF (black/grey/white): By infusing PETG with glass fiber, this material gains enhanced hardness and abrasion resistance, while also providing excellent electrical insulation due to the non-conductive nature of glass fibers. With a premium matte surface that minimizes layer visibility, PETG-GF is ideal for functional parts requiring both durability and insulation. Recommended applications include electrical enclosures, internal structures of industrial machinery, tooling fixtures, bicycle pedals, connectors, and abrasion-resistant terminals.

PAHT-CF (black): Made by combining carbon fiber with high-temperature nylon, this material delivers exceptional heat resistance, mechanical strength, and chemical corrosion resistance. Withstanding temperatures up to 194°C, it maintains structural integrity under thermal stress for consistent performance. PAHT-CF features excellent interlayer adhesion, abrasion resistance, and dimensional accuracy, making it ideal for high-demand applications. Recommended uses include motor housings, engine components, heat-resistant fixtures, gears, bearings, and structural or metal-replacement parts in automotive and industrial settings.
