PC Blend - Polycarbonate

High-heat engineering material for parts beyond PLA and PETG limits.

PC Blend - Polycarbonate

About the material

Polycarbonate (PC) and PC blends offer high heat resistance, toughness, and dimensional stability for demanding environments. Properties: - Typical nozzle 260-300 C, bed 100-120 C - High thermal resistance and impact toughness - Strongly moisture-sensitive; dry filament before printing Best for: electronics housings, automotive interior parts, heat-exposed technical components. Related: ABS, Nylon, Drybox, Filament.

Pros

  • Very high heat resistance compared to PLA/PETG
  • Strong and impact-tough for engineering parts
  • Reliable for long-term technical use when properly dried

Cons

  • Difficult printing profile with high temperatures
  • Requires filament drying and usually an enclosure

Best for

  • Electronics enclosures
  • Automotive interior parts
  • Heat-resistant fixtures
  • Technical housings
