PRINT DURABLE AND HEAT-RESISTANT PROTOTYPES AND END-USE PARTS
PC-ABS is a strong, engineering-grade material that has both a high heat resistance and high impact resistance. When ABS
does not provide a high enough impact resistance, but high heat resistance is still required, PC-ABS is a great alternative, due
to the addition of polycarbonate.
Extruder Compatibility Method Extruder 1XA & Support 1XA
Here are a few key takeaways for PC-ABS:
-
Most commonly used in functional prototypes
-
When compared to ABS, PC-ABS has
-
Increased rigidity
-
Increased impact strength
-
Increased heat resistance
-
Compatible with METHOD X and SR-30 support material
-
PC-ABS FR has flame retardant properties which meet UL-94 V0 standards
-
Many products such as kitchen appliances and even our 3D printers are required to use materials that meet these regulations. Our users can now prototype parts to be used in electrical/thermal testing.
PC-ABS and PC-ABS FR are due to begin shipping in June.
