Advanced Material, Smart Setup

AMS-Compatible, With Considerations

OzFDM's Polycarbonate filament is compatible with Bambu Lab AMS and AMS Lite systems when used with appropriate printing precautions.
Due to Polycarbonate’s higher stiffness and temperature requirements, optimal results are achieved by ensuring the filament is thoroughly dry, using a hardened steel nozzle, and confirming your printer profile is correctly configured for PC materials.
When these best practices are followed, Polycarbonate feeds reliably through AMS systems and delivers consistent, high strength, professional quality prints.

Built for Performance

Why Makers Choose PolyCarbonate

Exceptional Strength & Impact Resistance

Polycarbonate is known for its outstanding toughness and ability to withstand heavy mechanical stress.
It produces strong, rigid parts that resist cracking and deformation, making it ideal for functional components, housings, brackets, and tooling.
This high impact performance makes Polycarbonate a reliable choice for demanding applications where durability truly matters.

High Heat Resistance

Polycarbonate offers excellent thermal stability compared to standard filaments, allowing printed parts to maintain their shape and performance at elevated temperatures.
This makes it well suited for environments where heat exposure would cause PLA or PETG to soften.
It is an ideal material for fixtures, enclosures, and components that require long term temperature resistance.

Engineering Grade Performance

Designed for professional and industrial style printing, Polycarbonate delivers strong layer adhesion, good dimensional stability, and consistent extrusion when printed with the correct settings.
This combination of mechanical strength and print reliability makes Polycarbonate a go to material for advanced makers and engineers pushing beyond everyday filaments.

Polycarbonate Performance Overview

What PC's Data Shows

Polycarbonate scores exceptionally high in strength, heat resistance, and durability, reinforcing its position as a true engineering grade filament for demanding applications.
While it is more rigid and requires more controlled printing conditions than entry level materials, its outstanding mechanical and thermal performance makes it ideal for functional parts, enclosures, and components exposed to higher temperatures.
Overall, these results position Polycarbonate as a premium material for makers who need reliability, toughness, and long term performance beyond standard filaments.

Great business, highly recommended!!

Placed first order through these guys, 6 1kg rolls of various printer filament. Items arrived quickly and in great condition. I've only used a bit of pla+ so far but it seems consistent and of good quality. Highly recommended! 👍

Great material

I have a Bambu Lab X1 Carbon printer which I used to print this PC-ABS material. The prints were good with great layer adhesion. I printed a small guide piece which is stronger than the original part.

Initially the only issue I had using the recommended settings provided was some shrinkage causing parts to be slightly undersized. I did a calibration print which recommended setting the shrinkage to 99.42%. After changing that setting the prints have been spot on.

The only other issue I experienced was warping on small contact areas. This was resolved by adding a 10mm brim. I did not have an issue with larger flat parts. I did not deduct a start for this issues as it is typical for high temperature materials such as ABS.

I look forward to OzFDM providing this material without the sparkle. It will be great for functional parts

Prints beautifully

Very robust filament.
Prints amazingly well cranked up to 280c in a heated chamber. Components come out very very resilient. Good value for what you get.
