3D Printing PC (Polycarbonate), what you should know
Back –3D Printing – Materials
3D Printing with Polycarbonate uses a reliable and durable filament for engineering and end-use
Polycarbonate (PC) is a strong thermoplastic filament that characterized by its excellent impact resistance, high stiffness, heat resistance, and flame retardant properties. As a result, PC filament can absorb impact, prevent deformation or cracks, and maintain stability under high temperatures and flames. Due to its 110°C heat resistance, Polycarbonate performs well in high-temperature environments, such as under the hood of a car. Also known for its impact strength, Polycarbonate 3D printing is commonly used for producing rigid parts, function testing, finished parts assembly, and manufacturing.
