About this material

Luvocom 3F PAHT 9936: a mineral-filled nylon that insulates.

Luvocom 3F PAHT 9936 BK is a high-temperature polyamide with mineral filler, PA6-based and black, from the LUVOCOM 3F range. It is an industrial grade: mechanically stronger than conventional filaments, with thermal performance and chemical resistance to oils to match.

Electrically it is an insulator. Its insulation resistance is exceptional, which makes it a candidate wherever a printed part has to sit near current and stay out of the way of it. Compared with PA66, moisture and temperature have little influence on its dimensions and electrical properties.

It prints with low warping and increased layer adhesion, and common FFF printers should handle it. High mechanical strength and toughness are what you are buying, alongside that insulation.

The filler here is mineral, not carbon fibre. This grade is PA6-based; the carbon-reinforced and flame-retardant grades in this family are separate materials with separate datasheets.

Printer settings & data sheets

An industrial polyamide with a drying step you cannot skip.

Print it hot on a warm bed, at a moderate speed. Use Magigoo PA for adhesion, on a carbon-fibre plate, glass or a PEI sheet, because a polyamide asks more of the first layer than a commodity filament does.

Dry it first.

This is a hygroscopic polyamide, so pre-dry the filament at 100 °C for four to six hours, or at 80 °C for twelve. Seal the spool between jobs.

Measurements & tolerance

Precision-engineered consistency.

Consistent prints start with a uniform filament shape. We continuously monitor diameter and roundness during production. When filament varies in size or loses its round profile, material flow becomes erratic. This causes under-extrusion and weak layer bonds.

Our manufacturing process keeps the cross-section stable across the full spool. Your printer receives a steady volume of material without pressure drops in the nozzle. You get predictable extrusion on every job, so with Luvocom® 3F PAHT 9936 BK you can focus on your design, not your material.

The production process

Sealed at the source. Never touched by water.*

Unlike manufacturers who cool filament in a water bath, our filament never touches water during production. Moisture inside the material creates bubbles and weakens layer bonding during printing. Water-free production keeps extrusion consistent and bubble-free.

Sealed and ready to print.
We produce on demand. Every spool is vacuum-sealed immediately after extrusion, so it reaches you dry. This process keeps every spool of Luvocom® 3F PAHT 9936 BK ready to print out of the box.

* At times of high demand, and for some variants, production may run on a conventional water-cooled line. Contact us before ordering if you require material produced with our water-free process.

Vacuum-sealed filament spool, straight off the extrusion line

Vacuum-sealed on the production line, before it ever leaves the machine.

Traceability & quality assurance

Precision you can track. From pellet to part.

We produce every spool on demand in our own facility. This gives us direct oversight that mass-produced stock lacks. Your spool comes from a fresh, identifiable batch rather than long-term warehouse inventory. We document the production trail for every run.

Documented, not just shipped.
We keep the production logs for every batch we make. On request, we link a Certificate of Analysis and Technical Data Sheet to your specific batch. You get clear data for your spool of Luvocom® 3F PAHT 9936 BK.

About 3D4M

Dutch engineering for parts that define the future.

At 3D4M, we develop and manufacture high-performance thermoplastic filaments for demanding applications across aerospace, defence, semiconductor, automotive, medical research, and industrial manufacturing. We work with engineers, researchers, and manufacturers who need materials that go beyond standard specifications.

Our engineering starts with the machines themselves. We design and build our own extrusion lines around our patented extrusion process, combining material expertise with technology developed in-house. For moisture-sensitive polymers, our air-cooling technology offers a water-free cooling option, allowing us to tailor the production process to the material.

Our production facility is built on a single, uncompromising principle: control. From our extrusion technology to precise diameter monitoring and vacuum-sealed packaging, we control every stage to deliver consistent filament with batch traceability.

Trusted by global leaders
Supporting over 100 universities alongside global industry leaders, we have become a trusted partner to advanced research labs and manufacturers worldwide. We bring together material expertise and Dutch engineering to help turn ambitious ideas into reliable, high-performance parts.
