Polycarbonate filament offers a highly durable solution for printing the functional parts of your dream projects. Some PC polymers even outshine acrylic materials like PMMA and achieve less than half the density of most glass structures as well. This makes PC not only durable, but also lightweight compared to many of the alternatives on the market. And just to top off the already-impressive characteristics, Sunlu Polycarbonate Filament is designed for high impact strength and heat resistance!
As an exotic filament, SunLu Polycarbonate has much to offer Makers who need mechanical strength and more resistance or durability than PETG and ABS. It’s not surprising that polycarbonate is relatively difficult to print with, but the reward is worth the effort. Read our polycarbonate printing tips at the bottom of this description and once your 3D printer settings are dialled in, you’re ready to go. SunLu Polycarbonate is capable of producing incredible prints with high strength, great resistances to external forces, and very high thermal resistance. The transparent colour of this SunLu Polycarbonate also leads to fun possibilities. Print your own lighting, electronic covers, automotive parts, and water bottles.
