About this material

Luvocom 3F PAHT CF 9891: 15% carbon fibre, built for serial parts.

Luvocom 3F PAHT CF 9891 BK is a black high-temperature polyamide reinforced with 15% carbon fibre, developed specifically for FFF and FDM printing rather than adapted from an injection-moulding grade.

It was tailored to match the strength expectations of injection moulding, with serial production of end-use parts as the target. In practice that means robotics, drones, automotive and aerospace work, where a part has to be light, stiff and repeatable.

Compared with PA66 it is far less bothered by its surroundings: moisture and temperature have little influence on its dimensions or on its electrical properties. For a nylon that is the difference between a part you can trust and one that drifts with the weather in the workshop.

Despite the reinforcement it prints with low warping and good layer bonding, and it runs on conventional FFF and FDM systems without a heated chamber.

Printer settings & data sheets

Carbon-filled, so it asks for the right nozzle.

Print it hot, around 265 to 290 °C, on a warm bed and an open machine. The carbon fibres are abrasive: use an abrasion-resistant nozzle larger than 0.5 mm, because a standard brass nozzle wears open and takes your tolerances with it.

Dry it first.

Pre-dry the filament at 100 °C for four to six hours, or at 80 °C for twelve. A damp polyamide prints badly and bonds worse. Seal the spool between jobs and keep it dry.

Measurements & tolerance

Precision-engineered consistency.

Consistent prints start with a uniform filament shape. We continuously monitor diameter and roundness during production. When filament varies in size or loses its round profile, material flow becomes erratic. This causes under-extrusion and weak layer bonds.

Our manufacturing process keeps the cross-section stable across the full spool. Your printer receives a steady volume of material without pressure drops in the nozzle. You get predictable extrusion on every job, so with Luvocom® 3F PAHT CF 9891 BK you can focus on your design, not your material.

The production process

Sealed at the source. Never touched by water.*

Unlike manufacturers who cool filament in a water bath, our filament never touches water during production. Moisture inside the material creates bubbles and weakens layer bonding during printing. Water-free production keeps extrusion consistent and bubble-free.

Sealed and ready to print.
We produce on demand. Every spool is vacuum-sealed immediately after extrusion, so it reaches you dry. This process keeps every spool of Luvocom® 3F PAHT CF 9891 BK ready to print out of the box.

* At times of high demand, and for some variants, production may run on a conventional water-cooled line. Contact us before ordering if you require material produced with our water-free process.

Vacuum-sealed filament spool, straight off the extrusion line

Vacuum-sealed on the production line, before it ever leaves the machine.

Traceability & quality assurance

Precision you can track. From pellet to part.

We produce every spool on demand in our own facility. This gives us direct oversight that mass-produced stock lacks. Your spool comes from a fresh, identifiable batch rather than long-term warehouse inventory. We document the production trail for every run.

Documented, not just shipped.
We keep the production logs for every batch we make. On request, we link a Certificate of Analysis and Technical Data Sheet to your specific batch. You get clear data for your spool of Luvocom® 3F PAHT CF 9891 BK.

About 3D4M

Dutch engineering for parts that define the future.

At 3D4M, we develop and manufacture high-performance thermoplastic filaments for demanding applications across aerospace, defence, semiconductor, automotive, medical research, and industrial manufacturing. We work with engineers, researchers, and manufacturers who need materials that go beyond standard specifications.

Our engineering starts with the machines themselves. We design and build our own extrusion lines around our patented extrusion process, combining material expertise with technology developed in-house. For moisture-sensitive polymers, our air-cooling technology offers a water-free cooling option, allowing us to tailor the production process to the material.

Our production facility is built on a single, uncompromising principle: control. From our extrusion technology to precise diameter monitoring and vacuum-sealed packaging, we control every stage to deliver consistent filament with batch traceability.

Trusted by global leaders
Supporting over 100 universities alongside global industry leaders, we have become a trusted partner to advanced research labs and manufacturers worldwide. We bring together material expertise and Dutch engineering to help turn ambitious ideas into reliable, high-performance parts.
