XStrand GF30PA 3D Printer Filament

Owens Corning, a leading glass fiber supplier, has developed XSTRAND™ fiberglass 3D printer filaments to meet manufacturing's demand for functional prototyping. Since XStrand Filaments are 30% glass fiber reinforced, they show superior strength properties.

For use in FFF / FDM 3D printers, the XSTRAND™ series "redefines the performance of additive manufacturing technologies" with strength and flexibility above carbon fiber filled ABS, PP and standard PA6.

General Features

• Very tough and strong.
• It has a wide operating temperature range (-20°C - 120°C).
• It shows superior chemical and UV resistance.
• It has very good adhesion between layers.
• Developed for functional prototyping and industrial applications.
