ABS CF15 Large-Format Pellets

Matter3D’s Large-Scale Printing Pellets are engineered specifically for pellet-fed and large-format 3D printing systems. Each formulation is compounded in-house to deliver stable melt flow, excellent fiber dispersion, and consistent performance on high-throughput industrial machines. These pellets are designed for fast extrusion, low warpage, and dependable mechanical properties—ideal for tooling, molds, jigs, fixtures, and large-scale prototypes. With complete control over resin selection, additives, and fiber loading, we build materials that meet the demands of real manufacturing environments.

Matter3D ABS CF15 Large-Format Pellets are a carbon-fiber-reinforced ABS formulation engineered for pellet-fed and large-scale 3D printing systems where stiffness, dimensional stability, and low warpage are critical.

With approximately 15% chopped carbon fiber reinforcement, ABS CF15 delivers a significant increase in rigidity, creep resistance, and thermal stability compared to unfilled ABS, while maintaining a manageable processing window for large-format extrusion systems. This formulation is well suited for structural tooling, fixtures, molds, and large functional components requiring predictable mechanical performance and reduced deformation during long print cycles.

Each batch is compounded and processed in Canada with controlled fiber dispersion, moisture content, and pellet uniformity to ensure stable melt flow, consistent extrusion behavior, and repeatable performance across high-throughput, long-duration builds.

Large-Format Pellets are engineered for high-performance industrial applications, including:

• Tooling & molds (thermoforming, vacuum forming, composite lay-up tools)
• Jigs & fixtures for manufacturing and automation
• Automotive and aerospace prototyping
• Architectural and sculptural components
• Large-scale prototyping with long print durations
• Robotic arm grippers and end-of-arm tooling
• Production tooling and end-use parts
• Patterns, master models, and foundry tooling
  

These materials excel where size, strength, dimensional stability, and print speed matter.

Every batch of Matter3D Large-Scale Printing Pellets is compounded and quality-checked in Victoria, BC. We control moisture content, pellet uniformity, bulk density, fiber dispersion, and rheological behavior to ensure clean, stable extrusion at high deposition rates. Each lot is verified for melt flow consistency, contamination-free processing, and reliable mechanical performance. Our QC process ensures batch-to-batch repeatability—critical for long builds and industrial-scale printing.

Q: What makes Matter3D pellets different from other pellet suppliers?

A: We compound every formulation in-house, ensuring controlled moisture, clean fiber dispersion, and consistent melt behavior. Our pellets are engineered specifically for pellet-fed and large-format 3D printing systems—not generic injection molding grades.

Q: Are these pellets suitable for high-speed, high-throughput extrusion?

A: Yes. All materials are tuned for stable viscosity at high deposition rates, making them ideal for robotic gantries, large-format printers, and screw-fed pellet extruders.

Q: Do you offer fire-retardant (FR) or specialty variants?

A: Yes. We can create UL94-grade FR variants, UV-stabilized versions, heat-stabilized formulations, and custom fiber loadings (10–40% CF or GF).

Q: Can you match a customer’s existing material?

A: Absolutely. We can reverse-engineer or tune a material’s rheology, melt flow, stiffness, color, or fiber content to match—or outperform—your current pellets.

Q: What pellet size do you supply?

A: Standard 3 mm pellets, with custom sizing available upon request for specific feeders or extruders.

Q: Are custom colors available?

A: Yes. We offer custom pigmentation as well as masterbatch development.

Q: Are the pellets dried before shipping?

A: Most materials are pre-dried, but moisture-sensitive resins (like Nylon or PC-ABS) should still be dried on-site before printing for best results.

Q: Can you support large-format print farms?

A: Yes. We can supply large-volume orders, create material-specific datasheets, and tune custom formulations for your hardware or workflow.

Q: Why choose ABS CF15 over unfilled ABS?
A: ABS CF15 provides significantly higher stiffness, reduced warpage, improved thermal stability, and better dimensional control, making it more suitable for large structural parts and tooling.

Q: Is ABS CF abrasive?
A: Yes. Carbon fiber reinforcement increases wear on extrusion hardware. Hardened screws, barrels, and nozzles are recommended.
