Introduction to Carbon
Our 3D printing carbon filament is made up of short carbon fibers, these fibers being extremely strong cause the filament to increase in strength and stiffness while reducing its overall weight.

Description
Pros
-
Very lightweight filament, due to it being made of strands which is unique to other filaments
-
Has very good dimensional stability
-
Is a very strong and stiff, so is very good for prints you do not want to bend. Great for frames and tools (eg. drone parts or an RC car)
Cons
-
It is more expensive because the filament is tough and abrasive on the extruders so harder steel nozzles are required
