1. PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

  • Superior Mechanical Properties: Higher fiber content (25%) enables exceptional strength and stiffness

  • Enhanced Layer Bonding: Pure resin shell-to-shell contact provides superior Z-axis strength

  • Excellent Dimensional Stability: Core-shell structure minimizes warping and improves part accuracy

  • Extended Equipment Life: Reduced wear on nozzles, extruders, and other printer components

  • Easy on the Hand: Less fiber on the outer shell means less chance for short fiber irritating skin

2. APPLICATIONS

  • High-performance mechanical components

  • Thin-wall parts requiring exceptional strength

  • Heat-resistant applications

  • Precision engineering components

  • Industrial tooling and fixtures

  • Parts requiring superior layer adhesion
