WHY CarbonX ezPC+CF
PC-Class Stiffness. No Chamber Needed. 127°C Tg.
CarbonX™ ezPC+CF is 3DXTech’s easy-print carbon fiber reinforced polycarbonate — delivering 6,980 MPa tensile modulus and 6,540 MPa flexural modulus without requiring a heated enclosure. The easy-print PC base resin prints at 265–285°C — within reach of most open-material printers. A 127°C glass transition temperature positions ezPC+CF far above ABS and ASA thermally, while staying accessible to printers that can’t handle standard PC+CF’s chamber requirements. Hardened steel nozzle ≥0.4mm mandatory. Black color. Made in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
No Chamber Required
The defining advantage: ezPC+CF delivers CF-reinforced polycarbonate properties without a heated enclosure. Runs on open-material FFF printers that cannot support standard PC+CF chamber requirements — expanding CF-PC access to mixed fleets and service bureaus.
6,980 MPa Tensile Modulus
Carbon fiber reinforcement raises tensile modulus to 6,980 MPa — higher than standard CarbonX PC+CF (6,200 MPa). CF fiber alignment during FFF extrusion maximizes in-layer stiffness for structural tooling, brackets, and enclosures.
127°C Tg — Far Above ABS/ASA
Glass transition temperature of 127°C significantly outperforms ABS (105°C) and ASA (105°C). For functional prototypes and service parts in elevated-temperature environments on printers without heated enclosures.
Made in USA
Extruded and wound in-house at 3DXTech’s Grand Rapids, MI facility under ISO 9001:2015 certification. Consistent CF loading for repeatable mechanical properties across lots. Black color.
PRINTING WITH CarbonX ezPC+CF
ezPC+CF — CF Polycarbonate Without the Chamber Barrier
CarbonX ezPC+CF prints at 265–285°C — lower than standard PC+CF (280–310°C) and within reach of many open-material printers. No heated chamber required. Carbon fiber is abrasive: hardened steel nozzle ≥0.4mm mandatory. Dry at 80°C / 4 hr before every session.
- Extruder Temp 265–285°C — all-metal hot end required; lower range than standard PC+CF, accessible to more open-material printers
- Bed Temp 85–105°C — PEI or garolite build surface preferred; adhesion is sensitive to surface prep
- Chamber Temp NOT required — this is the defining advantage of ezPC+CF; runs on open-material printers without enclosure heating
- Nozzle Hardened steel ≥0.4mm MANDATORY — carbon fiber is abrasive and will wear brass nozzles rapidly
- Drying 80°C / 4 hr minimum before every print session
- ⚠ Moisture Warning Polycarbonate is hygroscopic. Wet filament causes splay, bubbling, and weak layer adhesion — signs are audible popping during extrusion. Dry at 80°C / 4 hr before every session and print from a sealed dry-box for best results.
THERMAL DATA
127°C Tg — PC-Class Thermal Performance Without Chamber Requirements
Four thermal milestones defining CarbonX™ ezPC+CF’s operating envelope — verified against 3DXTech CarbonX ezPC+CF TDS.
Glass transition temperature of the easy-print PC matrix. CF structural tooling and fixtures can be used in environments significantly above ABS (105°C) without a heated enclosure. Enables PC-class thermal performance on standard open-material printers.
HDT at 0.45 MPa. Parts maintain structural integrity under moderate load up to 119°C — suitable for functional prototypes and service parts in elevated-temperature environments without the printer overhead of standard PC+CF.
Estimated continuous-use service temperature for load-bearing applications. Significantly above ABS and ASA by thermal margin. For service bureaus and mixed-fleet shops needing CF-PC parts without a chamber-equipped printer.
Required before every session. PC-based resins are hygroscopic — moisture causes splay, bubbling, and reduced mechanical properties. 80°C / 4 hours minimum before printing.
APPLICATIONS
Functional Prototypes. Mixed Fleets. Service Bureau CF-PC.
CarbonX™ ezPC+CF targets the gap between ABS+CF (lower Tg) and standard PC+CF (needs a chamber) — enabling CF-reinforced polycarbonate parts on printers that can’t run traditional PC. 127°C Tg and 119°C HDT handle industrial functional prototyping and moderate service temperatures. For shops with mixed-capability printer fleets, service bureaus, and engineers running CF-PC without enclosure infrastructure.
Hardened steel nozzle ≥0.4mm mandatory. Carbon fiber is abrasive — brass nozzles wear rapidly with CF filaments. ezPC+CF is NOT a direct replacement for standard PC+CF in extreme-duty applications requiring 143°C Tg — it is the accessible CF-PC option for printers without chamber heating.

WHERE IT WORKS
Where CF-PC Outperforms ABS Without the Chamber Overhead
When you need PC-class heat resistance and CF stiffness but your printer fleet can’t support chamber heating — CarbonX ezPC+CF delivers 6,980 MPa modulus and 127°C Tg at 265–285°C, no enclosure required.
Functional Prototyping
Engineering prototypes requiring CF stiffness and 127°C Tg on open-material printers. Faster iteration than standard PC+CF by eliminating chamber preheat cycles and platform restrictions.
Service Bureau CF-PC
Service bureaus with mixed-capability printer fleets can run CF-PC parts on printers that cannot support standard PC+CF chamber requirements. Widens the range of materials a single machine can serve.
Structural Fixtures & Brackets
Jigs, pallets, and fixtures for industrial handling workflows at moderate elevated temperatures. 119°C HDT handles process environments where ABS (105°C HDT) fails — without requiring a chamber-equipped printer.
Electronics Assembly Tooling
Assembly jigs, test fixtures, and pick-and-place tooling on standard industrial printers. CF reinforcement provides stiffness; 127°C Tg clears most electronics process temperature thresholds.
Lightweight Structural Components
Enclosures, housings, and structural members where ABS+CF lacks thermal margin. ezPC+CF closes the Tg gap between ABS+CF (105°C) and standard PC+CF (143°C) for a majority of use cases without the printer infrastructure cost.
Automation & Conveyor Components
Conveyor parts, guide rails, and gripper components on production lines. CF reinforcement provides wear resistance and stiffness. No chamber requirement simplifies deployment on production floor printers.
MATERIAL CARE
Moisture Is the Enemy. A Proper Protocol Eliminates It.
CarbonX™ ezPC+CF requires consistent drying before printing at 265–285°C. Polycarbonate-based resins absorb moisture readily. Follow this protocol every session to maintain print quality and dimensional consistency.
Dry Before Every Session
80°C minimum / 4 hours minimum. No exceptions — even a sealed spool benefits from a fresh drying cycle before printing.
Print From the Dryer
For best results, print directly from a heated dry-box or dryer system. Ambient humidity will re-absorb into the filament during extended print runs.
Store Sealed With Desiccant
Return unused filament to an airtight bag or container with fresh desiccant immediately after printing. Long-term storage in original sealed packaging is acceptable.
Recognize Wet Filament Symptoms
Popping or crackling during extrusion, rough surface texture, reduced layer adhesion, and visible bubbling in the melt are signs of moisture contamination. Re-dry and restart.
HOW IT COMPARES
CarbonX™ ezPC+CF vs. Commonly Evaluated Alternatives
Buyers evaluating ezPC+CF typically compare against standard CarbonX PC+CF (higher Tg, needs chamber), CarbonX ABS+CF (lower Tg, lower print temp), and generic CF-PC filaments (unverified specs, usually need high-temp printers).

FREQUENTLY ASKED
CarbonX™ ezPC+CF — Buyer & Engineer Questions Answered
What is CarbonX™ ezPC+CF?
CarbonX™ ezPC+CF is 3DXTech’s easy-print carbon fiber reinforced polycarbonate filament — designed to deliver CF-PC properties at ABS-like print temperatures without a heated enclosure. Available in Black (1.75mm, 750g), it delivers 6,980 MPa tensile modulus and a 127°C glass transition temperature. Hardened steel nozzle ≥0.4mm mandatory.
Does CarbonX ezPC+CF require a heated chamber?
No — this is the defining feature. CarbonX ezPC+CF does NOT require a heated enclosure, making it printable on open-material printers that cannot support standard PC+CF’s chamber requirements. This is what the “ez” designates. Print temp is 265–285°C with a 85–105°C bed.
What temperatures does CarbonX™ ezPC+CF require?
CarbonX™ ezPC+CF requires an extruder temperature of 265–285°C and a bed temperature of 85–105°C. No heated enclosure required. Dry at 80°C for 4 hours minimum before every print session. Hardened steel nozzle ≥0.4mm mandatory.
What mechanical properties does CarbonX ezPC+CF deliver?
CarbonX ezPC+CF delivers 73 MPa tensile strength, 6,980 MPa tensile modulus, 85 MPa flexural strength, and 6,540 MPa flexural modulus at 2.1% elongation. The 127°C Tg and 119°C HDT allow use in elevated-temperature applications well above ABS and ASA. All values per ISO 527 / ISO 178 on 1.75mm black filament.
How does ezPC+CF compare to standard CarbonX PC+CF?
Standard CarbonX PC+CF has a higher Tg (143°C vs 127°C) and HDT (135°C vs 119°C) but requires a heated enclosure at 45–60°C and prints at 280–310°C. CarbonX ezPC+CF prints at 265–285°C with no chamber required — and actually has a higher tensile modulus (6,980 vs 6,200 MPa). Choose ezPC+CF for accessible CF-PC; choose PC+CF for extreme-duty elevated-temperature applications.
What applications use CarbonX™ ezPC+CF?
CarbonX ezPC+CF is used for functional prototyping, service bureau CF-PC production, structural brackets, electronics assembly fixtures, lightweight enclosures, and automation components. Particularly valuable for mixed-fleet shops and service bureaus needing CF-PC parts on printers without chamber heating infrastructure.
Does CarbonX ezPC+CF require a hardened steel nozzle?
Yes. Carbon fiber is abrasive and will rapidly wear brass nozzles. Hardened steel ≥0.4mm is mandatory for both CarbonX ezPC+CF and standard PC+CF. Ruby nozzles or other wear-resistant alternatives are also acceptable. Standard brass nozzles will show significant wear within the first few hundred grams of CF filament.
What spool sizes are available and what is in stock?
CarbonX™ ezPC+CF is available in one spool size: 750g Black ($78), which ships from stock. All filament is 1.75mm diameter. Contact Rev1 to confirm current availability.
