PC
PC is a high performance polymer — strong, heat-resistant polycarbonate.
What is PC?
PC is a high performance polymer — strong, heat-resistant polycarbonate. Typical values: 60 MPa yield, 1.2 g/cm³, rated to 120 °C. Available for 3D printing at FabDigit.

Manufacturability
The process limits FabDigit's quote engine applies to PC. Design inside these and the part quotes instantly; outside them it routes to an engineer.

What surface finishes work on PC?
Surface treatments FabDigit runs on polymer parts — pick them in the quote configurator or call them out on the drawing. Each links to its datasheet in the surface-finish library (thickness, specs, call-out, material verdicts).

Property data is compiled from published supplier and standards handbooks and normalised for comparison; hardness values on non-Brinell scales are converted approximately for charting only. Manufacturability limits are FabDigit quote-engine defaults and may be relaxed by engineering review. Nothing on this page is a certification — request mill certs, CoC or material test reports with your order.
