Bambu Lab PLA-CF Series
Bambu Lab PLA-CF Series
Bambu Lab PLA-CF Series - 1.75mm (with spool)Bambu PLA-CF is carbon fiber reinforced PLA, featuring higher stiffness and strength. PLA-CF is as easy to print as regular PLA and suitable for beginners.
It is AMS compatible with a low risk of clogging during high-speed printing. Prints have a matte finish with almost invisible layer lines,
making it suitable for printing general engineering parts or models that require a better appearance, such as bicycle frames, brackets, and toys.
Product Features
- Carbon fiber texture and minimized layer lines
- Improved mechanical properties
- Stable print dimensions
- Comes with a basic reusable spool
- Diameter: 1.75mm+/-0.03mm

Carbon fiber texture and minimized layer lines
The addition of carbon fiber gives prints a unique matte finish and effectively hides layer lines, providing a smooth, high-quality appearance.
Bambu PLA-CF can be paired with any PLA series filament to enrich the colors of your prints and meet various texture requirements.
Bambu PLA-CF exceeds PLA Matte in mechanical properties by 20% to 115% in XY bending strength, Z bending strength, XY bending modulus, Z bending modulus, XY impact strength, and Z impact strength, making it more suitable for printing models that require higher strength.

*For humid environments, it is recommended to dry PLA at 55 °C for 8 hours before printing.
Bambu PLA-CF features low shrinkage and warp resistance, enabling perfect fit accuracy between printed parts.
Easy Support Removal
Bambu PLA-CF is designed to support itself. Compared to regular PLA, it is easier to remove and still maintains a smooth supported surface.
Bambu PLA-CF is as easy to print as regular PLA. It can be printed smoothly at high speeds without clogging.
