PC-ABS is a technical filament with excellent strength, temperature resistance and ease of printing

The main properties of PC-ABS are impact resistance, mechanical and high temperature resistance. This versatile material has now been marketed as a 3D filament.

PC-ABS is a common material in the automitive industry; it has a particularly smooth and even surface and is ideal for further finishing, electroplating and metal coating.

The base material of Polymaker PC-ABS is from Covestro®; this material is widely used in automotive and IT technology

This special PC / ABS polymer has been developed for its excellent high temperature resistance combined with the strength of this filament.

PC / ABS has enormous ease of printing, but you must observe a number of rules if you want to 3D print this material. View the Printing Guide PC-ABS here

Tips for 3D printing with Polymaker PC-ABS:

• Use a hard steel nozzle such as the P3-D Hercules
• Use PolyDissolve ™ S2 as a support material
• Dry PC ABS for 8 hours at 80 ° C
• We recommend printing PC-ABS in an enclosure or heat chamber
• Anneal the 3D prints at 90 ° C for 2 hours to get stronger parts
• Clean your hotend after 3D printing with PC-ABS
• Always keep PC-ABS in a resealable seal bag
