Material manufacturer Covestro and its partner Polymaker today officially launched the new website 3DPC, which aims to promote the application of polycarbonate, an engineering plastic with excellent mechanical properties and processability, in the field of 3D printing. The information platform provides a series of Polycarbonate 3D printing related expertise, such as material selection and printing conditions, provide the necessary information for the mass production of 3D printed parts.
Polycarbonate, an engineering plastic, has been widely used in the automotive, healthcare and aerospace industries. The rapid development of 3D printing technology in the past five years has opened up new potential applications for this polymer. 3D printing can create traditional processing technologies. Unmanifestable geometry, the mechanical properties of polycarbonate can bring functionality to these shapes. 3DPC demonstrated advanced printing and processing technology will help polycarbonate to achieve more new industries and applications.
As the 3D printing industry develops toward more specialized applications, printer manufacturers have begun to develop specific applications for specific applications. At the same time, material development is moving in a similar direction. Printer manufacturers and material manufacturers work together for industry The reliability and repeatability required by the user create the perfect conditions. The specific data and process knowledge can improve the accuracy, strength and print speed of the printing components, thus creating conditions for the application of polycarbonate 3D printing to mainstream manufacturing. In this In the background, the information platform of 3DPC came into being.
More and more industries are applying 3D printing technology to R&D and production. 3DPC helps users to better understand the application of polycarbonate in 3D printing by showing a series of case studies and applications. One of the cases introduced specifically Designed and developed by the aerospace industry for fire rating (UL-94, V0) Polycarbonate materials. For the development of fire-resistant polycarbonates in specific application areas, this material will be used in all industries where safety and fire rating are required. Provide the basis.
Polycarbonate is naturally transparent and has high heat resistance. It is also an unprecedented ideal choice for lighting applications. Combining its high impact strength and wide availability, this material is also an excellent material for 3D printing scale production - 3DPC will tell the user the right The way to open.
