MATERIALS ENGINEERING
Nylon 11 CF
Ultra-light with a high strength-to-weight ratio.
Carbon reinforcement makes this the stiffest, strongest powder in the library: 69 MPa tensile strength, 4200 MPa flexural modulus and 110 MPa flexural strength. At 74 J/m impact strength it is not brittle despite its rigidity, and at 188°C it offers the highest heat deflection temperature in the library. Built for structural applications where it can replace metal parts at lower weight.

APPLICATIONS04 / 04
01
Structural Metal Replacement
Structural components where aluminium brackets and mounts can be replaced at lower weight, meeting the rigidity requirement at 5300 MPa tensile modulus.
02
Unmanned Aircraft Structures
Motor arms, airframe spars and camera mounts. This is the highest stiffness-to-weight ratio in the library.
03
Load-Bearing Parts at Temperature
The highest heat deflection temperature in the library at 188°C, for brackets and housings that must keep carrying load when hot.
04
Precision Gauging & Locating Aids
Inspection fixtures and assembly jigs that must not flex under clamping and locating loads.
MATERIAL SELECTION
Choose Nylon 11 CF When
- You need the highest stiffness and strength per unit weight.
- You are replacing a metal part with a polymer at lower weight.
- The part must keep carrying load at temperature.
