Lyten has announced the official launch of two products at the Performance Racing Industry (PRI) Show: Lyten 3D Graphene™ enhanced 3D printing filament and a structural epoxy adhesive purpose built for high temperature applications in motorsports, defense and aerospace.
Lyten announced PA1205, a Lyten 3D Graphene - infused PA12-based 3D printing filament, alongside the 6120HT high-temperature structural epoxy adhesive. Both products are built on the company’s 3D Graphene platform, designed to increase stiffness, strength, and thermal tolerance of polymers and composites while reducing weight relative to metal or conventional reinforced systems.
PA1205 is positioned as a substitute for machined composites and metal components in applications such as race hardware, long-range drones, and industrial parts exposed to significant mechanical loads. The filament is reported to deliver approximately 100% higher X- and Y-axis strength, a 43% increase in Z-axis strength, and roughly 500% higher impact strength compared with PA12-CF, while remaining compatible with standard industrial printers and maintaining print speed and part quality.
The 6120HT adhesive is described as a structural epoxy formulated for high-temperature and high-stress service, with a stated bonding strength of up to 6,000 psi. It features a glass transition temperature around 120 °C, retains strength up to approximately 100 °C, and can enable assemblies that are up to 90% lighter than those using metal fasteners, with additional emphasis on chemical and durability performance in demanding environments.
Both products are aimed at enabling thinner, lighter structural designs by improving load distribution and reducing reliance on mechanical fasteners in composite-intensive assemblies. Target sectors include motorsports, defense systems, aerospace components, and high-performance industrial applications, where the combination of weight reduction and structural reliability is a primary design driver.
PA1205 and 6120HT are already integrated into Lyten Motorsports, the company’s Indianapolis-based subsidiary supplying 3D - printed and autoclave parts for programs including INDYCAR Experience, the Indy Autonomous Challenge, and other racing series.
