PC/PTFE is a high-performance polycarbonate-based composite designed to bridge the gap between structural strength and surface functionality. By integrating PTFE, this material achieves significantly reduced wear and friction while maintaining the high mechanical resistance of PC. It features low linear processing shrinkage (0.6%) and very strong interlayer lamination. This makes it a premier choice for manufacturing functional mechanical components, such as bearings, gears, and sliding elements that require high heat resistance and durability.

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.
