What is PC-ABS?

Fused Deposition Modeling [FDM]

PC-ABS

is a high-performance 3D printing material that combines the heat resistance of polycarbonate (PC) with the toughness and printability of ABS. Ideal for industrial and functional applications, it withstands temperatures up to 102°C and delivers 70 KJ/m² impact resistance, making it perfect for automotive parts, electronic housings, and load-bearing prototypes. With excellent layer adhesion and minimal warping,

PC-ABS bridges the gap between engineering-grade durability and reliable printability.

Engineered for demanding environments

PC-ABS offers superior thermal stability (102°C HDT) and outstanding mechanical strength (70 KJ/m² impact resistance). Its balanced properties—rigidity from PC and flexibility from ABS—make it resistant to cracking under stress, even in high-vibration or high-temperature settings. Unlike standard ABS, it resists UV exposure and chemicals, ensuring long-term durability for outdoor or industrial use. Whether printing snap-fit enclosures or functional prototypes,

PC-ABS ensures precision and longevity.

PC‑ABS is the ideal choice for tough,

heat-resistant parts—from automotive dashboards and robotic gears to drone frames and custom tooling. With strong layer adhesion and low warping, it handles large-scale printing effortlessly. Chemically resistant and durable (ISO‑tested for impact), it’s suitable for lab equipment and industrial fixtures. Makers love its ABS-like ease of printing, and engineers rely

on its strength for end-use components.
