Which fibre-reinforced filament suits your project?
All Bambu Lab fibre-reinforced filaments on this page side by side, in the same order as above.
| Filament | Why choose it | Ideal for | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Easy to print | |||
| PLA-CF | Stiff and matte, easy to print | Drones, moulds and technical parts | Also on an open printer, also as a refill |
| PETG-CF | Stiff and matte, with the toughness of PETG | Brackets, housings and functional parts | Works in the AMS, AMS lite not recommended |
| 2. Heat and outdoors | |||
| PET-CF | Heat-resistant up to 205 °C, low moisture absorption | Load-bearing parts in warm or humid environments | Not for the AMS, enclosed printer recommended |
| ASA-CF | UV-resistant and almost twice as stiff as ASA | Large parts and outdoor housings | Enclosed printer required, not for the AMS lite |
| 3. Industrial | |||
| PPA-CF | Exceptionally strong, heat-resistant up to 227 °C | Automotive and industrial parts | Not for the AMS, drying required, 750 g |

Before you start
What you need to know about fibres
Hardened steel nozzle
Carbon fibre is abrasive and quickly wears out a regular nozzle. Use a hardened steel nozzle of 0.4 mm or larger. A 0.2 mm nozzle won’t work.
Nylon with carbon or glass fibre
You’ll find PAHT-CF, PA6-CF and PA6-GF in our PA filament range. For ABS with glass fibre, have a look at ABS-GF.

How to get the most out of fibre-reinforced filament
The right nozzle size
For engineering fibre filaments such as PET-CF, PPA-CF and PPS-CF, a 0.6 mm nozzle gives the best results.
Store it dry
Fibre-reinforced filaments absorb moisture. Always dry PET-CF, PPA-CF and PPS-CF before use. Store everything airtight with desiccant.
Enclosed printer
Print PET-CF, ASA-CF, PPA-CF and PPS-CF in an enclosed printer. PLA-CF also works on an open printer such as the A1.
Sleek matte look
The fibres give a fine matte finish that makes layer lines less visible. Ideal for sleek technical parts.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which fibre-reinforced filament should I choose?
Start with PLA-CF or PETG-CF: easy to print and stiff. If it needs to be heat-resistant or live outdoors, choose PET-CF or ASA-CF. For the toughest industrial applications, there are PPA-CF and PPS-CF.
Do I need a special nozzle?
Yes, all filaments on this page need a hardened steel nozzle. A 0.2 mm nozzle won’t work.
Does fibre-reinforced filament work in the AMS?
PLA-CF works in the AMS and the AMS lite. PETG-CF works in the AMS, but Bambu Lab advises against the AMS lite. ASA-CF works in the AMS, not in the AMS lite. Print PET-CF, PPA-CF and PPS-CF from the external spool holder.
Can I order a colour that is out of stock?
No, you can only order what is actually in stock. Each product page shows how many units of each colour are available. If a colour is temporarily unavailable, ask to be notified on the product page or get in touch with us.
How fast is delivery?
In-stock items are usually delivered within 1 to 3 working days in Belgium. Collection in Aalst is also possible.
