PC-ISO

POLYCARBONATE ISO

PC-ISO is an extremely durable RF friendly thermoplastic, often used for high-temp applications, automotive and medical housings.

Due to it’s strength and temperature resistance, PC-ISO, combined with the FDM Process, is ideal for consumer electronics, lighting, RF testing, medical housings, fixtures, fans and turbines

PC-ISO has a breakaway support structure, so PC-ISO may not be ideal for complex structures with hard to reach undercuts. The flex memory for PC-ISO is impressive and creates fairly durable tabs and thin flexible flat parts when built vertically like a profile extrusion.

Typically ordered in white, the translucent version of PC-ISO material is not truly clear, expect a “shower door effect”, which is not optically clear, however does allows light to pass thru.
