PC 3D Printing

PC is one of the strongest and most heat-resistant filaments available, designed for parts that face real stress.

High strength

Tough, durable parts that resist impact.

High heat resistance

Maintains performance above 110°C.

Load-bearing

Reliable for functional, structural parts.

Engineering grade

Trusted for demanding applications.

Why Choose PC

Exceptional strength, designed for real-world use.

PC (Polycarbonate) offers an outstanding combination of impact resistance, heat resistance and rigidity, making it ideal for functional parts, industrial use and demanding environments.

Exceptional Toughness

Outstanding impact strength and toughness for parts that take a hit.

Heat Resistant

Maintains mechanical properties above 110°C, suitable for high-temperature environments.

Strong & Rigid

High tensile strength and stiffness, ideal for structural and load-bearing parts.

Multiple Finishes

Available in translucent and opaque grades to suit functional and aesthetic needs.

Professional Grade

A true engineering material for demanding, real-world applications.

Things to Keep in Mind

Not for every application.

Hygroscopic material

Must be dried before printing to avoid bubbles, poor layer adhesion, and weaker parts.

Requires high temperatures

Needs a high-temperature nozzle, heated bed, and ideally an enclosure for stable results.

Can warp on large parts

More prone to warping than PLA/PETG, especially on larger, flat parts.
