What Is PC 3D Printing?

Impressão 3D para PC leverages Policarbonato (a robust, heat-resistant thermoplastic) e 3Impressão D technologies to build parts layer by layer—a core principle of fabricação aditiva. Unlike traditional subtractive methods, this approach uses techniques like Modelagem de Deposição Fundida (FDM), Estereolitografia (SLA), e Sinterização Seletiva a Laser (SLS) to create objects from digital designs, enabling flexibility that’s hard to match.

Key technologies powering PC 3D Printing:

Technology	Core Mechanism	Ideal PC Applications
Modelagem de Deposição Fundida (FDM)	Thermoplastic Extrusion of PC filament	Large-format parts (por exemplo, automotive housings)
Estereolitografia (SLA)	Photopolymerization of PC-blend resins	High-detail prototypes (por exemplo, consumer electronics components)
Sinterização Seletiva a Laser (SLS)	Sintering of PC powder	Durable end-use parts (por exemplo, industrial gears)

At its heart, PC 3D Printing enables digital prototyping e layer-by-layer fabrication, turning abstract ideas into tangible, functional parts in days—not weeks.

Processo: From Design to Finished PC Part

Our PC 3D Printing process is a structured, quality-focused workflow that ensures consistency and reliability:

Fase de projeto: Collaborate with our team to finalize your CAD model, optimizing it for PC’s properties (por exemplo, accounting for minimal deformação).

CAD Modeling & STL Conversion: We convert your design into an STL file—compatible with all major slicing software (por exemplo, Cura, Simplify3D).

Print Preparation: The slicer breaks the model into layers (0.05–0.3mm) and sets parameters (por exemplo, temperature for PC extrusion: 250–300°C).

Layer Deposition: Using FDM (most common for PC), the printer extrudes molten PC filament layer by layer, or for resins, SLA uses UV light for curing process.

Support Structure Removal: For overhanging parts, we carefully remove soluble or breakaway supports without damaging the PC part.

Post-Curing (if applicable): SLA-printed PC parts undergo UV post-curing to boost strength and stability.

Controle de qualidade: Every part is inspected with laser scanners to check precisão dimensional and ensure it meets your specs.

Materiais: Choosing the Right PC for Your Project

Policarbonato (PC) is a versatile thermoplastic, but we offer specialized variants to match your application’s demands. Here’s how our materials stack up:

Material Type	Key Properties	Ideal Applications
Standard PC Filament	High impact resistance (65kJ/m²), resistência ao calor (120°C HDT)	Consumer electronics housings, toys
Carbon Fiber Reinforced PC	30% higher strength than standard PC, low weight	Aerospace brackets, robotics parts
Glass Fiber Reinforced PC	Improved stiffness, chemical resistance	Automotive underhood components
PC-ABS Blend	Balanced impact strength and flexibility	Industrial equipment enclosures
PC Photopolymer Resin	High detail (50μm layer), smooth surface	Medical device prototypes, jewelry

We also work with complementary materials like ABS, PLA, e nylon for multi-material projects—perfect for parts that need a mix of rigidity (PC) e flexibilidade (TPU).

Tratamento de superfície: Enhancing PC Parts’ Look and Performance

PC parts often need surface treatment to meet aesthetic or functional goals. Our services transform raw prints into polished, ready-to-use components:

Sanding: Smooths rough surfaces (reduces Ra from 5–10μm to 1–2μm) for better paint adhesion.

Painting & Revestimento: Applies durable paints (por exemplo, UV-resistant coatings) ou epoxy coating for chemical resistance.

Polimento: Creates a glossy finish (Rá <0.5μm) for consumer-facing parts (por exemplo, electronics casings).

Texturing: Adds grip patterns or matte finishes to improve usability (por exemplo, sports equipment handles).

Anodizing: For metal-infused PC parts, adds a corrosion-resistant layer (ideal for automotive components).

Table: Surface Treatment Impact on PC Part Performance

Treatment	Surface Roughness (Rá)	Impact Resistance Improvement	Chemical Resistance
As-Printed	5–10μm	Base (100%)	Low (resistant to water only)
Sanded + Painted	1–2μm	+15%	Medium (resistant to oils)
Polished + Epoxy Coated	<0.5μm	+25%	High (resistant to solvents)

Tolerâncias: Ensuring PC Parts Fit Perfectly

Dimensional accuracy is critical for PC parts—especially in industries like aerospace and medical devices. Our focus on tight tolerances sets us apart:

Precision Tolerances: For FDM-printed PC parts, we achieve ±0.1mm for parts up to 100mm (±0.2mm for larger parts). SLA-printed PC resins offer even tighter tolerances (±0.05mm).

Layer Thickness: We print PC at 0.05–0.3mm layer thickness—thinner layers (0.05milímetros) for high detail, thicker layers (0.3milímetros) for faster production.

Minimizing Warping & Shrinkage: PC is prone to warping at high temperatures, so we use heated build plates (110–130°C) and enclosed printers to reduce shrinkage to <2% (industry average: 3–5%).

Material Stability: Our PC materials undergo thermal testing to ensure they maintain shape and strength in temperatures up to 120°C (critical for automotive and industrial use).

Por exemplo, our PC aerospace brackets have a tolerance of ±0.08mm, meeting the strict standards of AS9100 (aerospace quality management).
