It does not typically improve the strength of prints, but it stabilizes the filament as it cools (preventing warping and shrinkage), and it can improve detail. + +The addition of carbon fiber makes the end product stiffer, but more brittle. PLA-CF is one of the best filaments for detail oriented printing. It's overall a better filament than PLA, with the only drawbacks being a hardened steel nozzle requirement, and lack of color options. + +### Metal-filled PLA +Metal filled PLA is made by adding metal shavings to the filament during production.
