PC Core
Polycarbonate does not compromise: highest impact energy, highest heat deflection, and enough stiffness to carry real load. It asks for a 300 °C hot end and a warm chamber.
Best for
- Machine guards and load-bearing frames
- High-temperature fixtures
- Light housings and lenses
Watch out
Delaminates if you print it too cool. Under 260 °C the layers never properly fuse.

The properties on this page are values published in the named manufacturers' data sheets, measured on their grades to the standard printed against each row — not measurements of a ZORVA spool. Use them to compare material classes, not as an acceptance specification.
Passport
Ships with the spool. Published before you buy.
The same record on the label, on this page and in the box. Batch number included, so a bad print can be traced to a specific run.
