PC — Polycarbonate
Polycarbonate is an amorphous engineering plastic with exceptional impact strength and high heat resistance (HDT >110°C). It requires very high print temperatures (260-310°C) and an actively heated chamber to prevent warping and layer separation. PC is used in demanding applications like safety equipment, transparent enclosures, and high-temperature tooling.
