With Ultimaker PC (polycarbonate) filament, you can print strong and tough parts that retain dimensional stability when subjected to temperatures as high as 110 ºC. Our PC is a perfect filament for printing molds, tools, functional prototypes and parts for short-run manufacturing.

Reasons to choose Ultimaker PC

PC is a top choice material for engineers and manufacturers who require parts that need to retain its strength, toughness and shape while operating in high-temperature environments.

• Resists temperatures and retains form up to 110 ºC
• Flame retardant characteristics
• Transparent option for translucent parts
• High toughness, especially for non-transparent options

Properties:

• Good tensile strength (59.7 MPa at break)
• High impact strength (Charpy tested to 3.41 J/m)
• High melting temperature (Mass flow rate at 300 °C: 23 – 26 g/10 min)
• Glass transition at 112 – 113 ºC

Applications:

• Functional prototyping
• Tooling
• Molds
• Short-run manufacturing
• Industrial modeling
• End-use parts

Dimensionally stable

PC features heat resistant properties that allow it to maintain its form when subjected to high temperature environments. Learn more about 3D printing in engineering

Strong and tough

From prototypes to mass manufactured parts, PC is ideal for a range of functional applications that require tough mechanical properties. Learn more about functional prototyping

Optical translucency

PC is an amorphous thermoplastic polymer, resulting in a better light transmission through 3D printed parts.

Compatibility

Ultimaker PC material is officially supported for single material prints with the Ultimaker S5, Ultimaker S3, Ultimaker 3 series, and Ultimaker 2+ series of 3D printers.

*We recommend to use the Advanced printing kit for Ultimaker 2+/ Ultimaker 2+ Extended and Ultimaker 3/Ultimaker 3 Extended when when printing with Polycarbonate
