PC
(Polycarbonate)
Polycarbonate (PC) is a high-performance thermoplastic known for its exceptional strength, impact resistance, and heat tolerance. It is used for producing parts that need to endure high mechanical stress, elevated temperatures, or physical impact.
Benefits
Exceptional mechanical strength
High impact resistance
Great thermal resistance
Tough and rigid
Resistant to UV and some chemicals
Limitations
Challenging to print
High warping tendency
Post-processing can be difficult
Not biodegradable
Industries
Polycarbonate is widely used in automotive, aerospace, electronics, tooling, and industrial manufacturing sectors where high strength, heat resistance, and impact durability are required. It is commonly used for load-bearing parts, brackets, enclosures, light covers, protective casings, gears, and mechanical test fixtures. PC is especially valued in environments where parts must withstand thermal, mechanical, and environmental stress.
