Press-brake test dies in PA6-CF

PREPARATION / NOTES

Material profile: 3DP-034. No universal wall count, infill percentage or print temperature is specified for a load-bearing die.

EQUIPMENT

• FDM printer / slicer
• Slicer project
• Calipers or inspection method

MATERIALS

• PA6-CF

STEPS

• Define actual sheet alloy, measured thickness, bend length, opening, punch radius and desired angle. Record the roughly 3-inch-tall concept as a design input, not a rating.
• Have the load path, machine setup and restraint reviewed by a qualified tooling person. Support the plastic against lateral spreading and keep layer interfaces out of the principal splitting direction where possible.
• Prepare PA6-CF using 3DP-034 and the exact spool datasheet. Print dimensional and bonding coupons before the die. Document orientation, walls, internal structure and drying history.
• Conduct any authorized machine trial under the shop’s guarded test procedure. Log force, stroke, angle, permanent deformation and cycle count; stop on cracking, delamination or shifting.

TROUBLESHOOTING

• SUNLU PA6-CF 20% was recovered from purchase context, but successful die tests were not. Follow the current exact-product guidance in 3DP-034 and verify the spool label. No tonnage or 16–10 gauge capability has been established.

SAFETY / LIMITS

• Use qualified judgment and current manufacturer or code guidance for safety-critical work.
