Zortrax Z-PCABS

Z-PCABS is a unique blend which combines the properties of two materials: ABS and polycarbonate (PC). Its advantages include high mechanical durability, and resistance to various factors, including high temperatures. Z-PCABS is perfectly suited for industrial use as it allows you to test your prototypes and end-use parts regardless of extreme conditions. You will benefit from this fusion of materials while creating housings of everyday tools, constructional elements of various equipment, and automotive components which will remain stable and fully functional over time.

Features & Benefits

Features
  • RC CAR

Internal parts 3D printed with Z-PCABS ensure structural integrity of the RC Car.

  • End-use products

Apply the filament whenever unyielding durability is required. Replace parts prone to damage with sturdier ones 3D printed with Z-PCABS.

  • High durability

Z-PCABS brings the advantages of ABS reinforced with highly durable Polycarbonate fibers. The high strength of the 3D printing material makes it a reliable choice for rapid prototyping and end-use parts.

  • Chemical resistance

Use Z-PCABS to 3D print objects meant to work in hazardous environments. The filament is immune to salts, acids, and alkalis
