Kevlar® continuous fiber

What is Kevlar® continuous fiber?

Kevlar® is a tough, lightweight material that can bend further than any other fiber, making it ideal for 3D printing.

When should you print with Kevlar® continuous fiber?

Kevlar® is best used in parts that are subject to impact. Its low density and high durability make it a great option for applications that require a lot of movement or involve production parts.

  • End effectors
  • Soft cheeks
  • Brackets
  • End-use parts

Reducing changeover times and increasing plant throughput with Markforged technology

There are now 53 unique printed parts on the pad handling machine, including fuse covers, end effector laser sensor mounts, mechanism covers, bump stops, motor mounts, and more.

“People were blown away by the overall quality; they never thought they would see printed parts applied to machines that would actually be used in a production environment.”

Impact resistance

Kevlar® is 8x more impact-resistant than ABS and at the same time 15-20% lighter than our other reinforcement fibers.

FAQ

What is Kevlar® continuous fiber?
Kevlar® is a synthetic fiber developed and produced by DuPont. Known for its light weight and toughness, it is traditionally used in products such as tires, sails, ropes, and protective gear. Kevlar® is an excellent material for 3D printing.

How strong is Kevlar® continuous fiber?
For a full explanation of the material properties of 3D printed Kevlar, please see our composites datasheet.

How much does Kevlar® continuous fiber cost?
A 50cc spool costs €106.90 including VAT and a 150cc spool costs €319.90 including VAT.
