Polycarbonate (PC) Filament

Polycarbonate (PC) is one of the strongest 3D printing filaments available, renowned for its high-temperature resistance and exceptional durability. Unlike Acrylic or Plexiglass, Polycarbonate can be bent and shaped while cold without breaking or deforming, making it ideal for projects that require both flexibility and strength.

Key Features:

• Temperature Resistance: Polycarbonate can withstand temperatures exceeding 100°C, making it the go-to material for engineering projects and applications involving lighting or heat exposure.
• Optical Clarity: In its natural color, Polycarbonate offers extremely high optical clarity. You can further enhance its transparency by sanding or applying a lacquer spray, making it perfect for applications requiring clear, strong parts.
• Superior Mechanical Strength: Polycarbonate boasts greater mechanical strength compared to most other 3D filaments, including PLA and ABS, providing durable and long-lasting prints.
• Consistent Quality: For consistent, high-quality results with well-bonded layers, Polycarbonate is an excellent choice. However, it is recommended to use Polycarbonate filaments in fully enclosed printers to minimize warping and maintain print accuracy.
• Moisture Sensitivity: Polycarbonate filaments tend to absorb moisture, so it’s important to keep them dry to ensure optimal print quality.

Polycarbonate is ideal for users seeking a filament that combines strength, temperature resistance, and clarity, making it a versatile choice for both functional and aesthetic 3D printing projects.
