PC (Polycarbonate) is known for its exceptional strength, toughness, and heat resistance. Ideal for creating
durable and high-performance parts, PC can withstand high temperatures and impact stresses. It prints at a temperature range of
482°F to 536°F (250°-280°C) and offers excellent dimensional stability. Recommended bed temperature: 110 °C for the first layer, 115 °C for other layers. PC is also resistant to deformation under load and maintains
its properties in demanding environments. Its clarity and optical properties make it suitable for applications requiring transparency.
PC is a popular choice for engineering, automotive, and industrial projects.
PC is distinguished by its exceptional strength, impact resistance, and thermal stability, making it ideal for high-stress applications and parts that need to endure extreme conditions. Unlike PLA, which is brittle, and ABS, which can degrade under UV exposure, PC offers superior mechanical properties and can withstand temperatures up to 110°C (230°F) without deforming. Additionally, Polycarbonate is more transparent than other filaments, allowing for the creation of clear and translucent parts. However, it requires higher printing temperatures and a heated bed, making it more challenging to print compared to materials like PLA and PETG.
Not every filament is made in China. PC by 3D-Fuel from Fargo, ND is an excellent choice for its quality.
