Strength and durability make PC ideal for custom tooling.
Rapid tooling, built to endure. PC offers accuracy, durability and stability, producing strong parts that can withstand functional testing. PC lets engineers and designers combine the speed and agility of 3D printing with the reliability of the most widely used industrial thermoplastic.
Widely used in automotive, aerospoace and medical, PC’s high tensile and flexural strength make it ideal for demanding prototyping needs, tooling and fixtures, and patterns for metal bending and composite work. Parts 3D printed in PC are tough and heat resistant, ideal for conceptual modeling, functional prototyping, manufacturing tools and production parts.
