Description

⚙️ PC + PTFE – Precision Filament for High – Temperature, Low – Friction Components

PC + PTFE is a professional – grade 3D printing filament designed for demanding technical applications. By blending polycarbonate (PC) with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)—a material known for its extremely low friction coefficient — this filament achieves an exceptional combination of heat resistance, mechanical durability, and sliding performance.

It’s the go – to material when you need dimensional stability, friction reduction, and long – term strength in challenging environments. Filament is capable of operating at sustained temperatures of around 120 °C. PC+PTFE is ideal for parts exposed to heat and wear.

Thanks to its self-lubricating properties and smooth surface finish, this material is perfect for mechanical assemblies, sliding mechanisms, and precision engineering parts. It can also be post – processed (machined, sanded, or polished) to enhance appearance or fit.

While it is a highly specialized filament, PC+PTFE prints reliably when handled with proper hardware and print settings, making it a powerful tool for industrial prototyping and functional manufacturing.

⚠️ Food safety disclaimer: This material is not approved for food – contact applications.

🔄 Note: This version comes on a classic plastic spool for instant use — no masterspool required.

📦 Please be aware that spool type may vary for all filaments.

🙋‍♂️ FAQs

Q: What’s the advantage of PTFE in this blend?
A: PTFE significantly reduces friction, allowing the filament to perform well in sliding or dynamic parts.

Q: Is PC+PTFE stronger than regular PC?
A: It has comparable strength but enhanced performance in motion – based parts due to its self – lubricating nature.

Q: What temperature does it withstand?
A: PC+PTFE can handle continuous use at temperatures around 120 °C.

Q: Do I need an enclosure to print with PC+PTFE?
A: A closed printer is a must. To maintain dimensional accuracy and layer bonding filament needs stable environment.

Q: Can I post – process parts printed with PC+PTFE?
A: Yes, you can machine, sand or polish it to get a precise fit or smoother finish.

Q: Is PC+PTFE easy to print?
A: Unfortunately, it’s very difficult to print. Rosa3d recommends it only to experienced and advanced users.
