Engineering-Grade Materials – PC, Nylon, and TPU
PC (Polycarbonate)Applications: Structural components, electronics housings, aerospaceAdvantages: High tensile strength, heat resistance up to 120°C, excellent impact resistanceLimitations: Requires high-temperature extrusion (>250°C), warps without an enclosurePC is favored for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and ability to withstand extreme conditions. It requires precise temperature control during printing to prevent layer separation.Nylon (Polyamide)Applications: Gears, bearings, hinges, functional…
