PC-ABS blends polycarbonate and ABS to offset each material's main weakness: pure PC's high shrinkage makes precise geometries difficult, while standard ABS falls short on heat resistance and impact strength. The result sits between the two, as the blend offers better heat resistance and impact toughness than ABS alone, with better dimensional stability and easier processing than pure PC. That said, it doesn't match PC's absolute heat resistance. Because PC-ABS is a blend rather than a single standardized formulation, the ratio of PC to ABS varies between manufacturers, so performance can differ from one supplier's material to another. PC-ABS suits functional prototypes, electrical enclosures, and automotive or industrial components that need a balance of heat resistance, impact strength, and dimensional accuracy.

The standard (as-printed) finish on FDM parts shows the natural texture of layer-by-layer printing. The visibility of the layer lines depends on part geometry and orientation, plus light marks where support material was removed.
