PC-ABS Description

PC-ABS is a FFF filament combining polycarbonate and ABS. It combines the heat resistance of polycarbonate and the flexural strength of ABS. It is suitable for printing functional prototypes, rugged tooling, and production parts. It offers easy processing, colorability, and a balance of mechanical properties from both materials.

Finishes for fused filament fabrication printed PC-ABS.

Fused filament fabrication (FFF) of PC-ABS offers a versatile platform for creating high-quality, durable parts. Common finishing techniques include sanding, priming, and painting to enhance surface smoothness and appearance. Additional options like vapor smoothing or chemical polishing can further refine the finish, depending on the desired end-use.
