Description
FibreX PP+GF30
is made using a specialty formulated 30% glass fiber reinforced polypropylene
copolymer which we created specifically for 3D printing. Our formulation
offers improved thermal properties and lower shrinkage & warp compared to
competitive PP-based compounds. Reinforcing this trusted engineering polymer with glass fiber really made it a game changer for industrial applications. 3D printed PP+GF30 parts can be found in a wide array of real-world functional end uses or prototypes with automotive, tooling fixtures and jigs, appliances, and sporting goods. |
Benefits of FibreX PP+GF30
- Excellent resistance against a huge variety of chemicals
- Low density and weight
- Low shrinkage and warping
- Typically does not absorb moisture, no drying required!
- High strength, stiffness, and impact resistance

Material DETAILS
Glass Fiber Reinforced Filament
What Is It?
DescriptionFibers made of glass reinforced into the polymer during manufacturing and aligned along the axis of filament.
This, along with their physical makeup, give this material enormous strength and mechanical properties.
What Does It Do?
Glass fiber reinforcement gives material a lot of desirable properties:
High strength
High stiffness
High chemical resistance
Low thermal expansion
How Does It Work?
Reinforcing plastic with glass fibers produces a 3D printing filament which exhibits the best properties of both fiberglass and the plastic of choice.
What Is It Good For?
Ideal for any applications which require strength and rigidity.
For these reasons, glass fiber reinforced filament is very popular in automotive, mechanical, civil engineering, and research industries.
