Sample prints in Carbon5D™. A finish unmatched by any industry-standard filament.
Carbon5D™ is available both in custom blends and in the stock filaments Aveo uses across all its own defense 3D-printed parts and products, including:
An engineered conductive PET-G designed for controlled electrostatic discharge, with tunable surface and volume conductivity achieved at minimal graphene loading. Compared to carbon-filled systems, it significantly reduces mechanical-strength compromise, with better melt behavior and much higher print speeds, such as 120 mm/s, plus a moderate level of RAM characteristics.
A graphene-reinforced FDM filament for structural parts in ambient and outdoor conditions. It raises tensile modulus and strength over neat ASA while printing faster with stable melt flow. Unlike heavily filled fiber-reinforced materials, it extrudes smoothly, without excessive brittleness, warping or nozzle wear, and holds dimensional stability and mechanical integrity at higher throughput than standard ASA.
Backed by ASA's UV and weather durability.
Conductive and flexible ESD.
PVDF grades combine electrical conductivity with mechanical flexibility and chemical resistance. Built for electrically active components and static-safe structures, they enable both conductive and ESD-safe use in demanding environments, with strong chemical resistance plus RAM / EMI shielding. They hold controlled surface resistivity in the ESD-safe range while staying flexible and impact-resistant, so parts get static protection without going brittle.
PVDF Conductive prints parts at 10-20 S/m, enabling integrated resistive heating, de-icing systems, electrically active housings and lightweight conductive structures.
High-temperature ESD for demanding environments.
A graphene-engineered high-temperature filament for reliable ESD control where conventional ESD materials fail. Built on polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), it combines structural strength, inherent flame resistance and thermal stability up to 250°C.
Where both thermal stability and static control matter.
For higher conductivity, PPS Conductive gives stable bulk conductivity while keeping PPS's thermal and mechanical strengths, ideal for electrically functional components, grounding features and high-temperature conductive housings, and strong for EMI shielding and RAM. Both grades are made for high-temperature FDM systems with controlled chamber environments.
For radar, EMI and ESD masking.
Aveo has built airframe composites for over 13 years, including the General Atomics Predator winglets, which Aveo has developed and manufactured 100% in-house to this day. Since 2013, Aveo Group has invested in alternative composite fabrics and resins, and six years ago began developing flax natural composites and graphene blends. The mix now includes proprietary synthetic and natural ingredients, natural and polymer/glass fibers, carbon nanotubes and nanocoatings, developed by Aveo and the small technology partners it has invested in.
Aveo has brought all of this to additive manufacturing, producing the same components in 3D printing to its own specifications, ingredients, processes and materials, the same it applies across defense, space, aeronautical, marine and vehicle markets.
Today Aveo delivers commercial hybrid composites made from natural materials and green resins, used in many of its civil aviation products. Unique blends of hemp, basalt and polymer, with aluminum coatings applied at 600°C, produce unmatched performance and material specifications, including stealth-grade ESD, EMI and RAM characteristics.
Aveo's nano-level coatings, applied at very high temperatures, give its materials characteristics standard materials lack. For electromagnetic shielding, they deliver clear quality and cost advantages over existing options like pure aluminum fibers, foils and sheets.
Precise, controlled coating with adjustable thickness and a choice of thin or thick core fibers.
The coated fibers use nano-materials for real quality and performance gains.
