Detailed Description
# FibreSeek X-CCF 1K Composite Carbon Fibre Filament
Overview
FibreSeek X-CCF 1K is a continuous carbon-fibre reinforcement filament developed for FibreSeek's Composite Fibre Co-extrusion process and the FibreSeeker 3. The product manual describes X-CCF as continuous carbon fibre impregnated with thermoset resin, with an approximate fibre volume fraction of 60%.
Unlike chopped-carbon-fibre filament, X-CCF 1K is deposited as a continuous reinforcement path alongside a separate thermoplastic matrix. This enables reinforcement to be placed according to part geometry, load direction, and composite toolpath.
Key Benefits
- Continuous 1K carbon-fibre reinforcement
- Approximately 60% fibre volume fraction
- Directional reinforcement through CFC toolpaths
- Automated feeding, deposition, and cutting
- 500 m spool format
- Compatible with documented PLA, PETG, and polyamide matrix materials
Best For
- Lightweight structural parts
- Drone and robotics components
- Jigs, fixtures, and tooling
- Automotive and aerospace prototypes
- Sporting-equipment prototypes
- Composite-material research
Important: FibreSeek reports composite tensile strength of up to 900 MPa for specific material systems and print configurations. This is a complete composite-system value rather than a standalone tensile-strength value for the X-CCF tow. Refer to the product manual.
