PC Filament - Properties, Advantages & Applications in 3D Printing

PC filament (Polycarbonate) is a high-strength and heat-resistant 3D printing material, ideal for technical parts that must withstand high mechanical stress and elevated temperatures. PC offers excellent impact resistance, good toughness, and outstanding dimensional stability.

Advantages of PC Filament

  • Very high impact and break resistance
  • High temperature resistance (up to approx. 110-130 °C)
  • Excellent dimensional stability and low deformation
  • Very good layer adhesion for stable, functional parts
  • Transparent or slightly tinted for special applications
  • Ideal for demanding technical and industrial projects

Printing and Material Properties

PC is more challenging to print than PLA or PETG and requires a heated bed and a closed build chamber to prevent warping. With the right settings, however, very stable, heat-resistant, and precise prints can be achieved.

Optimal Printing Settings for PC

  • Printing temperature: 260-300 °C
  • Heated bed: 90-120 °C
  • Build chamber: closed recommended
  • Fan: 0-20 % (low cooling)
  • Speed: 30-60 mm/s

Tip: PC filament should be stored dry and, if necessary, dried before printing to achieve optimal results and minimize stringing.

Typical Applications of PC Filament

  • Technical functional parts
  • Mechanically highly stressed components
  • Heat-resistant housings and mounts
  • Prototypes for industry and mechanical engineering
  • Outdoor applications with high mechanical loads

PC vs. PETG - When is PC the Better Choice?

PETG is easier to print but less heat-resistant and mechanically robust. PC is the right choice when parts need to:

  • withstand high temperatures,
  • endure extreme mechanical stress,
  • require excellent dimensional stability,
  • be clear or partially transparent.
