Polymaker PC-ABS: Tough, Heat Resistant, and Versatile

Engineered Polymer Blend
Polymaker PC-ABS combines the best properties of polycarbonate (PC) and ABS, resulting in a filament with excellent toughness and high heat resistance. This makes it suitable for demanding engineering and industrial applications.

Superior Surface Finish
This blend delivers prints with a smooth, attractive surface finish, enhancing the appearance of functional parts and prototypes.

Excellent Compatibility with Metal Plating
Polymaker PC-ABS is well-suited for post-processing techniques, including metal plating, making it a versatile choice for applications that require both durability and a premium look.

Ideal for Functional and Industrial Parts
Choose Polymaker PC-ABS when your project demands a balance of toughness, heat resistance, and a high-quality surface—perfect for automotive, electronic, and industrial components. An enclosure to trap high ambient heat is required.

Please refer to the printing requirements below before purchasing.

Printing Requirements

Enclosed printer that can trap heat required.
Actively heated chamber with minimum 90˚C chamber temp required.
Large, dense parts will require a heated chamber even more so than small parts.
Annealing post printing. More info on annealing: https://us.polymaker.com/blogs/3d-printing-tips/what-is-annealing-and-why-do-we-do-it
Dryer or drybox recommended.
Magigoo PC highly recommended to help with bed adhesion.
All-metal hotend that can reach at least 250˚C recommended

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've got answers. From choosing the right material to caring for your spools, here's everything you need to know in one spot.

What is annealing?

You can find out more about annealing HERE

Will the spools work in an AMS?

Yes! We have redesigned the edges of our spools so all Polymaker products will now spin great in the AMS.

Does PC absorbs moisture?

The short answer is yes, PolyLite™ PC will absorb moisture slightly faster than regular PLA. We recommend using a dry box to achieve high quality and strong prints.

Why are my parts cracking along layer lines?

You really need to make sure you are using an enclosed printer and that you are keeping ambient air temps as high as possible. You then want to make sure you are annealing the part the moment the print finishes. Keeping ambient air temps high and allowing for very slow cooling is a great way to reduce chances of cracking and to maintain layer strength.

Consistent Quality Filament Used Often

This is my most frequently used filament. Consistent quality filament on a Bambu Labs X1 Carbon.

Awesome and super strong prints

This stuff is awesome! super strong! Prints really well. It does print very hot so be careful not to touch the bed immediately after print finishes. Give it some time to cool.

Great quality prints, reasonable price.

Have done a couple successful prints on an X1C and the quality has been great. It is a bit expensive, but the price does seem reasonable for the material quality.

PC print successful despite difficulty

My printer maxes out at 260 90 so print pc is no easy task I tented and warmed it up good and put huge brims with 0 spacing and less walls
