MATERIAL OVERVIEW
Properties to guide your selection.
Polycarbonate offers impact resistance, strength and thermal performance for durable functional parts. It can be considered when a standard prototyping plastic does not meet the mechanical demands of the application.
Selection considerations
Review the load case and temperature with the material data.
