Material

PC — Polycarbonate

Impact and temperature. For when the 90 °C of ABS is no longer enough.

Use it for

  • Machine guards, covers near a heat source
  • Parts taking repeated impacts
  • Mounts and guides for ovens and drying tunnels

What it will not do

  • Difficult to print: more machine time, so more expensive
  • Moisture-sensitive, drying is mandatory
  • Clear grades are never optically clear in FDM

What we have learned using it

Printed polycarbonate does not have the clarity of an extruded sheet: the layer lines scatter the light. For a window or a viewing port this is the wrong process, and we say so beforehand.

Consider instead

  • ABS — if 90 °C is enough
  • PA6-CF — if the constraint is mainly mechanical

Names are the manufacturer's own and serve as the ordering reference. The colour runs through the material, it is not painted on — swatches are indicative, a physical sample prevails.

Values measured by the filament manufacturer on standardised specimens. A printed part will differ with orientation, infill and settings: we validate on a test part on request.

Technical data sheet (TDS) from the filament manufacturer, Bambu Lab, in English, as published on its store on 6 September 2026: mechanical and thermal properties measured on specimens, drying and printing conditions. It is the document to attach to a technical file; we also send it with the order on request.
