Polymaker PC-ABS is a high-performance polymer blend that combines the strength and heat resistance of polycarbonate (PC) with the ease of printing and toughness of ABS. Designed for professionals and demanding users, it delivers excellent mechanical stability, impact resistance, and surface quality—making it ideal for functional prototypes, automotive parts, electronic housings, and industrial components that require durability and precision.
Engineered for strong layer adhesion and reduced warping, PC-ABS prints best at nozzle temperatures between 250°C and 270°C with a heated bed set to 90°C–105°C. For optimal results, use an enclosed printer to maintain a stable thermal environment and minimise cooling during printing. The filament’s balanced formulation ensures consistent extrusion and superior dimensional accuracy across a wide range of applications.
Mechanically, Polymaker PC-ABS offers a high tensile strength and a heat deflection temperature of around 106°C under load, maintaining its rigidity and form even in elevated-temperature environments. This combination of strength, toughness, and heat resistance makes it a true engineering-grade material suited for both prototyping and end-use parts.
For best results, print on a well-prepared build surface using an adhesion aid such as glue stick or PEI sheet. Post-print annealing at around 90°C for two hours can help relieve internal stresses and further improve part stability.
Polymaker PC-ABS is the perfect solution for users seeking industrial-grade performance with reliable printability—offering the best of both PC and ABS in one versatile, professional filament.
