A carbon-fibre-filled PETG for stiff, functional parts with PETG’s practical toughness.
PETG-CF
What it’s for
Jigs and fixtures, Test fixtures, Bench tooling, Short-run production, Brackets and mounts, Enclosures, Short-run production. We choose the final route against the geometry and service environment, not from the material name alone.
Key characteristics
- 01Carbon fibre restrains the PETG matrix as it cools.
- 02That raises stiffness while retaining a useful functional character.
- 03The abrasive fill needs a hardened nozzle and careful drying.
- 04Use it for brackets, fixtures, and rigid working housings.
In our shop
We choose PETG-CF when PETG’s general-purpose behaviour needs a stiffer shape.
The hardened setup and dry spool are part of the job definition, not optional extras.

Design notes
- Use radii at load transitions instead of sharp internal corners.
- Plan cosmetic faces around the fibre-filled surface character.
Technical values appear only after we approve a datasheet for the exact spool in use. If a specific property determines the job, tell us and we will discuss the material route.
