Lyten's PA1205 graphene-infused filament named standard material for Modovolo's containerized BFP aerospace printer

Lyten has been named the primary filament supplier for Modovolo's BFP platform, a containerized, modular 3D printer built to produce aerospace, motorsports, and defense-grade parts outside conventional factories. The system runs on Lyten's PA1205, a PA12 nylon filament infused with the company's 3D Graphene additive, first launched in December 2025 at the PRI Show alongside a companion structural epoxy. Lyten cites roughly 100% higher X and Y-axis tensile strength and a 43% gain in Z-axis strength over PA12-carbon-fiber blends. Modovolo built the BFP after finding no US-made printer fast or affordable enough for its own drone program, having already used Lyten filament since 2025 on its Lift Quadcopter-X.

The pairing extends Lyten beyond its battery and graphene-material roots into structural additive materials, and it fits the broader push toward domestically sourced, field-deployable manufacturing for defense and aerospace supply chains. The Z-axis strength claim is the notable technical detail: interlayer weakness has long been the main objection to using material extrusion for load-bearing structural parts, and both companies plan joint demonstrations at CMI2 and the Northern Strike exercises to make that case to aerospace, automotive, and defense buyers. This is a materials-adoption story rather than a funding or capacity event, and the strength figures are Lyten's own until independently verified.
