Stratasys Polycarbonate (PC) is a highly versatile thermoplastic filament widely used in various 3D printing applications. This is primarily due to its exceptional strength, excellent impact resistance, and ability to withstand high temperatures. Its sturdiness, durability, and resilience characterize the end product, making it ideal for parts exposed to high-stress situations or wear and tear. Stratasys polycarbonate filament is available in various colors, including clear, black, and white. It is frequently employed in the aerospace, automotive, and electronics industries to produce protective covers, medical equipment, and components for various machinery.

About Fused Filament Fabrication
Fused filament fabrication (FFF) or fused deposition modeling (FDM) is a well-known 3D printing process widely used. The process involves melting a thermoplastic filament through a heated nozzle and selectively extruding it to build layer upon layer. This versatile method offers designers and engineers several material options to create parts with specific mechanical properties. Fused Filament Fabrication 3D printing is a cost-effective process that can produce durable and rigid parts with moderate detail. That makes it ideal for businesses and individuals looking to create check fixtures, specialized tools, functional prototypes, and end-use parts.
