Polycarbonate 3D
3D plastic PC, also known as polycarbonate for 3D printers, is primarily used in 3D printing for technical purposes. In its classic form, it is a transparent material characterized by high strength, rigidity, and resistance to a wide range of temperatures. It can withstand short-term heating up to 153 °C, and its operating temperature ranges from -100 to 115-130 °C. Due to its high transparency, PC is used in the industry for the production of protective glasses and helmets, compact discs, etc. Polycarbonate for 3D printers can be used in various devices for 3D printing capable of printing at fairly high temperatures.
The advantages of the material include impact resistance and a high coefficient of friction. It is resistant to acids but is destroyed by most chemical solvents. Due to this, polycarbonate for 3D printers is widely used when it is necessary to manufacture products for technical purposes. As for the disadvantages, they include low resistance to UV radiation and high hygroscopicity. It is recommended to store PC in a hermetically sealed package with a desiccant.
