PC (Polycarbonate) is one of the most-used 3D printing materials. In plain terms: virtually unbreakable. the strongest filament we offer.
VOXFIL PC delivers extraordinary strength, transparency and heat resistance up to 115 °C. It is impact-resistant enough for protective equipment and load-bearing structures. Demanding to print, rewarded with parts that outperform most plastics.

How to print PC
- Nozzle: 260 – 300 °C, all-metal hotend required
- Bed: 100 – 120 °C, heated enclosure essential
- Speed: 30 – 60 mm/s, cooling off
- High temps — verify your printer's limits first
Best applications for PC
- Protective guards & shields
- Load-bearing structures
- High-heat environments
- Transparent windows (thin parts)
- Impact-resistant tooling
Best for: Maximum strength and heat tolerance for serious engineering.
