CFC is thermoplastic polymer material based on polyamide PA12 and developed by Polymaker especially for
Anisoprint CFC (continuous fiber co-extrusion) process. CFC is applied as a matrix material in 3D printed
composite parts reinforced with continuous fibers. The material is supplied as filaments with cross-sectional
diameter of 1.75 mm.

CFC has a relatively low viscosity that allows good binding of fiber layers. This plastic is also low absorption
grade and can be printed from open-air for a decent amount of time.
