Kevlar is used in wide variety of applications, including body armor and bullet proofing. Add Kevlar reinforcement to your Nylon or Onyx parts to create durable parts with excellent impact resistance. Parts reinforced with Kevlar are typically stronger than machined parts at roughly half the price.
Additive Technology: FFF
Kevlar Reinforcement
A tough, lightweight fiber that can bend further than any other reinforcement.
Lightweight & Impact Resistant
Extremely durable and impact resistant, Kevlar can withstand repeated shock and sudden impacts.

Advantages Of Kevlar
Impact Resistant
Kevlar is as stiff as Fiberglass, but durable enough to withstand repeated and sudden loads. It’s a great material to strengthen a wide variety of parts.
High Durability
Print durable parts that are 12x more rigid than ABS and 30x more than Nylon. Kevlar parts are also 3x stronger than ABS and 6x stronger than Nylon.
Lightweight
Kevlar is 15-20% lighter than our other fiber reinforcements. It’s great for a variety of applications, ranging from prototyping to production parts.
