Best for...

  • Heat resistance — holds up at sustained high temps, no sag in hot enclosures
  • Impact & strength — carbon fiber makes it stiff without being brittle
  • Chemical resistance — oil, coolant, brake fluid, degreaser won't hurt it
  • Dimensional stability — low warp, prints accurate parts that stay accurate
