Before we start answering this question, we first need to understand what is fiberglass?
Fiberglass is the abbreviation of fiberglass:
Fiberglass is a non-metallic inorganic material with excellent performance. It has the characteristics of good insulation, high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance. It is used by 3D printing technology, but its disadvantages are fragility and low wear resistance.
3D printing nylon fiberglass
1. Is the nylon to fiberglass ratio only 30%?
Of course not. In 3D printing of nylon and fiberglass materials, there are also 15%, 40%, etc., but in the market, more and more people choose to add 30% fiberglass to print models.
Why are there so few users who choose to add 40% fiberglass for printing? Because as the fiberglass increases, the mechanical properties will show a curve that first increases and then decreases. Its highest point and best combination point is between 30% and 35%.
The model printed in nylon with 40% fiberglass is more brittle.
2. What is the difference between nylon with fiberglass and without fiberglass?
Let’s first look at the differences between their settings.

Hardness and resistance:
Judging from the above data, in terms of hardness and strength, nylon with fiberglass will perform better than nylon without fiberglass. Of course, this is related to the material properties of fiberglass.
Temperature resistance:
Judging from the data, 3D printing nylon materials added to fiberglass will have higher temperature resistance.
3. What types of products are suitable for nylon and fiberglass? What are its characteristics?
This type of material is more suitable for product function testing. This material can be used to make certain chain and spring products that need to withstand the intensity of activity. Mainly used in automobile parts, household appliances and household equipment.
In addition, the surface of nylon + fiberglass is grainy. Nylon is a permeable material and absorbs fine dust from the air. If you place it outside in direct sunlight, it will yellow easily.Therefore, those of you who have surface and coloring requirements should consider these influencing factors appropriately.
