Polycarbonate / PC
Polycarbonate is a capable engineering plastic for robust technical parts. It is a good option when a part needs to withstand mechanical loads while holding its shape.
Typical applications
Sturdy housings, functional prototypes, load-bearing brackets and fixtures for demanding technical tasks.
Why polycarbonate / PC?
PC offers a strong combination of stiffness and toughness. Its heat deflection resistance makes it attractive for parts with higher thermal requirements.
Performance profile
- Heat deflection temperature (HDT)
- up to 135 °C
- Tensile strength
- up to 62 MPa
- Elongation at break
- up to 7 %
- Tensile modulus
- up to 2,410 MPa
Ideas for your application
Device manufacture, industrial product development, fixture construction and small technical production runs.
Surface and appearance
A continuous plastic appearance with visible print layers.
Designing your part to fit
Generous radii and consistent wall thicknesses support strong connections. We plan print layer orientation alongside the main loads.
Finishing and post-processing
Mating surfaces and holes can be selectively post-processed. For bonded or painted parts, we select suitable products compatible with the material.
