SANSIL 3D
Material
PLA-CF — Carbon-fibre reinforced polylactic acid
All the precision of PLA, with a stiffness that no longer bends.
Use it for
- Light jigs and workshop gauges that stay indoors
- Models and scale mock-ups with perfectly crisp edges
- Flat parts that must stay flat: the fibre kills warping
What it will not do
- Three times the price of PETG: only worth it if the load demands it
- Matt, slightly rough surface — not a cosmetic material
- Black only

Names are the manufacturer's own and serve as the ordering reference. The colour runs through the material, it is not painted on — swatches are indicative, a physical sample prevails.
