Beyond laid-up composites, QTechGolf designs and produces technical 3D-printed parts with exceptional resolution, using very high-tech carbon-fibre-reinforced filaments.
0.08 mm layers, fine details, thin walls, complex geometries and refined surface finishes: the printed part faithfully reproduces the digital model where conventional processes reach their limits.
PPA-CF (polyphthalamide filled with carbon fibres) offers high stiffness, very good heat resistance, low moisture absorption and excellent dimensional stability, for truly functional parts.
Fast, tooling-free iterations to validate a design, then repeatable production of test-ready parts, from a single prototype to a small series.
The material determines the stiffness, heat resistance and service life of the part. Here is, in simplified form, how the main filament families compare.

Relative levels from 1 to 5 (5 = very high) and orders of magnitude of service temperature, given as a guide: they vary with brand, print settings, annealing and moisture. The filament is chosen with you according to the part's specification.
QTechGolf designs and manufactures high-tech prototypes and small series: 3D-printed parts with exceptional resolution in carbon-fibre-reinforced PPA-CF filaments, and composite parts for golf, aerospace and precision engineering.

QTechGolf is a sole proprietorship run by Arnaud QUEVA, based in Nibas, in the Somme (France). It designs and manufactures high-tech prototypes and small series, in high-definition 3D printing (PPA-CF) and carbon composite, for golf, aerospace and precision engineering.
For every project, you deal directly with the person who designs and makes your parts, from the first discussion of the specification through to delivery, with no intermediary.
PPA-CF is a 3D printing filament made of polyphthalamide (PPA) filled with short carbon fibres. It combines high stiffness, very good heat resistance, low moisture absorption and excellent dimensional stability, which makes it suited to technical and functional parts.
PLA, PETG and ABS suit mock-ups and lightly loaded parts. As soon as a part must stay rigid, withstand load and heat while holding its dimensions, a carbon-reinforced filament such as PPA-CF is better suited. The comparison table on this page details these differences.
We print with 0.08 mm layers, which allows fine details, thin walls and complex geometries to be reproduced with refined surface finishes.
You can attach 3D files in STEP, STP, STL or 3MF format in the quote form, as well as drawings in PDF. If you don't have a 3D model yet, describe your need: we can help you design the part.
Yes. In addition to 3D printing, QTechGolf manufactures parts in carbon fibre and high-performance resins by lay-up and moulding, for golf, aerospace and precision engineering.
We specialise in prototypes and small series, from a single part to a pre-series, without heavy industrial tooling.
They depend on the part, the material, the quantity and the finish. Send us your request with your files: we will reply with a detailed quote and a precise lead time.
Yes. Projects can be handled under a confidentiality agreement (NDA) on request, and your files are used only to carry out your request.
