    Probably not.
    All of the carbon fiber filament to be used in a normal FDM printer is infused with CF to add strength.
    It is still fundamentally PLA, ABS, nylon etc. There are pros and cons to this since the "strength" is really more about it being stiffer and/or harder. There are other filament type that actually are stronger.
