Thanks to the glass transition temperature of 143C the thermal resistance of PC-CF is one of the highest among the 3D printing filaments.
PC is one of the most durable, hardest and heat resistant engineering grade polymer. High dimensional accuracy, increased rigidity and impact strength makes the material particularly suitable for the production of demanding and robust models. Polycarbonate is also an electrical isolator.
PC-ESD is an advanced compound produced using multi-wall carbon nanotube technology and a highly precise extrusion process. The material is ESD-Safe thus it can be used in critical applications that require electrostatic discharge protection. PC-ESD prevents the accumulation of the electrical charge on the model surface and as the consequence prevents uncontrolled discharge. It has great mechanical properties.
PC/ABS is an acrylonitrile butadiene styrene and polycarbonate copolymer and it combines the features of both polymers. This is a 3D printing material of increased impact strength (comparable with PC), increased heat resistance and decrease moisture absorption. It is suitable to print the models that work in wide temperature range applications.

Flexfill 98A is a semi-flexible filament that offers specific mechanical properties. High tear and tensile strength guarantee the durability of 3D printed products. The material is based on polyurethane which offers highly reversible deformation, resistance to ozone, oils, greases, and good transparency. Properties are stable also thanks to improved UV stability. It has high abrasion resistance and rebound resilience. Printing with 100% infill ensures a tough object. Material has resistance to a wide range of temperatures. This material is ideal for dynamically stressed parts, like belts, shoe outsoles, wheels, grippers or flexible covers. It can be used for the production of electrical and electronic equipment. The use of the material in the food or medical industry is not recommended. Available in multiple colours (Beige, Grey, Red, White, Black, Natural).
ABS is one of the most popular thermoplastics, regardless of production technology. It allows printing complex geometries, functional prototypes and many more. It is always easy to process and it has good mechanical properties to price ratio. ABS is a machinable material – it is possible to make the technological holes and even threads on the printed model. Relatively high hardness of the material results in high scratch resistance. ABS shows some basic chemical resistance for acids, alkalis, and alcohols. It can be used in the applications that work in the temperature range of -20 – 80C. ABS is a recyclable material. Available in multiple colours.
ASA is the thermoplastic polymer which combines good mechanical properties, UV resistance and the water resistance. The high level of dimensional stability and good chemical resistance makes ASA suitable for prototyping, outdoor applications and various applications in automotive industry. Available in multiple colours.
Applications:
PLA is a biodegradable thermoplastic polyester made from renewable raw materials. One of the most popular materials used for 3D printing. PLA is not resistant to increased temperatures as well as have very limited resistance for all aggressive chemical substances. Available in multiple colours.
Applications:
Smart ABS filament is characterized by high impact resistance. An additional advantage is also the low level of material shrinkage during printing. One of the biggest advantages of this material is the high gloss of the print surface and the possibility of machining (grinding, drilling, threading).
Applications:
PP is a popular 3D printing polymer that offers excellent print quality, high fatigue and mechanical strength as well as good thermal resistance. Prints made of PP are suitable for end use applications thanks to low friction coefficient and nice, smooth surfaces. PP features also high electrical resistance thus the prints can be used as the electrical isolators. PP has a great durability and strength to weight ratio.
3DGence ESM-10 is a first soluble support material for high-performance polymers. The filament is characterized by high chemical compatibility and adhesion to PEEK and ABS materials.
