PLA+CF: High-Performance Carbon Fiber Reinforced Filament for Professional Prototyping. Developed by Lothric Labs.
Lothric Labs is proud to announce the official release of its proprietary PLA+CF material, engineered to deliver exceptional strength, dimensional stability, and surface quality for professional-grade additive manufacturing.
Developed to bridge the gap between standard prototyping materials and production-ready engineering polymers, PLA+CF combines an enhanced PLA+ matrix with precision-dispersed carbon fiber reinforcement, resulting in parts that are stronger, stiffer, and more dimensionally accurate than conventional PLA materials.
Engineered for Serious Development Work
PLA+CF was designed specifically for engineers, product developers, manufacturers, and innovators who require functional prototypes that closely represent final-use components without the complexity associated with high-temperature engineering materials.
Key performance advantages include:
✅ Enhanced Rigidity Carbon fiber reinforcement significantly increases stiffness, allowing parts to maintain geometry and structural integrity under load.
✅ Superior Dimensional Stability Reduced warping and shrinkage help produce highly accurate components, ideal for tight-tolerance applications.
✅ Exceptional Surface Finish The carbon fiber blend minimizes layer visibility and provides a professional matte appearance directly off the printer.
✅ Improved Strength-to-Weight Ratio Produce lightweight components with increased mechanical performance for demanding design validation and fitment testing.
✅ High-Speed Printing Compatibility Optimized for modern high-performance FDM systems while maintaining excellent print quality.
✅ Reduced Material Expansion Carbon fiber reinforcement helps control thermal movement during printing, improving consistency across larger parts.
✅ Excellent Machinability Finished components can be drilled, sanded, and post-processed with ease for assembly and testing applications.
Built for Aerospace, Defense, Manufacturing, and Beyond
PLA+CF is the ideal material for organizations that need high-quality prototypes quickly and reliably.
Recommended Applications Include:
Aerospace component mockups
