PRINT DURABLE AND HEAT-RESISTANT PROTOTYPES AND END-USE PARTS

PC-ABS is a strong, engineering-grade material that has both high heat resistance and high impact resistance.

When ABS does not provide a high enough impact resistance, but high heat resistance is still required, PC-ABS is a great alternative, due to the addition of polycarbonate.

FUNCTIONAL PROTOTYPES

PC-ABS, like ABS, is regularly used in mass production for consumer and industrial products. In anticipation of large-scale manufacturing, it can be beneficial to prototype and test your prototypes using the same material used in production in order to more closely mimic the final product in form, fit, and function.

FLAME RETARDANT

PC-ABS FR is a flame retardant version of PC-ABS. Flame retardance is a common requirement for materials used in the production of passenger-carrying vehicles such as rail cars and automobiles and aeroplanes. The benefit being that FR extinguishes flames preventing the spread of fire.

END-USE PARTS

Short-run production with PC-ABS can be achieved for extremely low-volume products with the benefit of avoiding costly tooling. These parts can permanently replace injection moulded pieces, or temporarily supplement them in the case of supply-chain disruption.

PRINTING COMPLEX GEOMETRIES WITH SR-30 DISSOLVABLE SUPPORT

For printing the most complex geometries with easy support removal, PC-ABS and PC-ABS FR can be used in conjunction with Stratasys SR-30 dissolvable support material. SR-30’s unique compatibility with PC-ABS re
