Polycarbonate (PC) filament is extremely strong yet lightweight. It has a great impact resistance and tensile strength. Therefore, Polycarbonate is perfect for transparent prints that will look great and mimic that glassy finish, and that are also tough as nails.

PC filament is also bendable – and machine bendable at room temperature – with this flexibility allowing it to withstand high tensile forces that break or shatter filaments like ABS.

Characteristics：

– High transparency
– Nontoxic
– High distortion temperature and high thermo stability
– Low flammability
– Easy to process

PC Printing Parameters:
Best print temperature: 240-260 °C
Base temperature: 110-120 °C
Feed speed: 20-70mm/s

Bed Type: PEI on glass / PVA glue

What is required is a good printer that heats to and holds high hot end and bed temperatures, a good print surface, the right adhesive and the ability to partition and/or control the ambient temperature around the printer. Once mastered Polycarbonate yields the strongest and most durable desktop 3D printed parts from filament that exist today.
