Bambu PAHT-CF
Bambu PAHT-CF is a composite of PA12 and carbon fibers. Thanks to the advantages of the low water absorption of PA12 and high-performance carbon fibers, Bambu PAHT-CF provides excellent mechanical and thermal properties, which it maintains even when in contact with water. Higher Z-axis layer adhesion and flexibility make it ideal for producing engineering parts such as functional prototypes, machining jigs, injection molds, fixtures, and parts for small-batch production.
Low water absorption
With 50% lower water absorption compared to standard PA-CF, Bambu PAHT-CF maintains excellent mechanical properties and dimensional stability even when exposed to high humidity.

High tensile strength
Bambu PAHT-CF is designed to meet the demands of various industrial and engineering applications where high strength and durability are required.
Designed for high heat resistance
The heat deflection temperature of PAHT-CF under flexural load is up to 194°C (0.45MPa), making it useful for applications where printed parts are exposed to high temperatures without deformation or loss of strength.
Reusable spool
Bambu PAHT-CF comes with a high-temperature-resistant spool that is not prone to deformation during the drying process. This spool is reusable with other Bambu refills, helping to reduce plastic waste.
