Filament PC
PC filament: Robust 3D printing solutions for outdoor use and high heat resistance
PC (polycarbonate) is a high quality filament material used for 3D printing. Characterized by its exceptional strength, durability and heat resistance, it offers a wide range of applications in various industries.
PC filament is characterized by its high tensile strength and impact resistance, which means that the printed parts are strong and resistant to impact and deformation. This makes PC an ideal choice for applications where strength and durability are key.
Another great advantage of PC is its high heat resistance. The material can withstand temperatures of up to 130°C without losing its shape or strength. It is therefore well suited for applications where heat resistance is required, such as in the automotive industry or in the manufacture of electronic components.
In addition , PC filament is available in transparent varieties that offer good optical clarity. Printed parts made from clear PC have a smooth surface and are translucent, making them ideal for applications such as lighting fixtures, display covers, or prototypes with clear components.
PC filament is also known for its chemical resistance to many chemicals including oils, solvents and acids. It is therefore often used in the chemical industry or in laboratories where parts come into contact with aggressive chemicals.
Due to its excellent electrical insulation properties, PC filament is also used for 3D printing of electronic components, cases and protective devices. It provides reliable insulation and protects against electrical interference or short circuits.
In terms of applications, PC filament is used in a variety of industries. It is used in the automotive industry for 3D printing of prototypes, vehicle parts and housings. In the aerospace industry, it is used in the manufacture of lightweight yet strong parts. PC is also used in medical technology for the manufacture of medical devices, prostheses and implants.
Overall, PC-Filament offers a reliable solution for 3D printing of high-quality and functional parts. With its strength, durability, heat resistance and chemical resistance, it opens up a wide range of possible applications in various industries.
Application examples:
- protective covers and housings for electronic devices
- Prototypes and functional parts in the automotive industry
- Transparent lighting fixtures and lampshades
- Medical devices and components
- Outdoor gear such as rugged housing for GPS devices or camping gear
- Housings and covers for electronic components
- Bespoke packaging solutions including food packaging
- goggles and face shields
- Electronic components such as switchboards or connectors
- Spare parts for industrial machines and tools
These application examples illustrate the versatility of PC filament and how it can be used in various industries and fields to create strong, heat-resistant and durable 3D printed parts.
