High strength filaments - Filament material - PC

High-strength filaments are specially designed for printing objects that require exceptional durability and strength. These filaments contain additives or are made from materials that significantly enhance their mechanical properties compared to standard filaments.

The main characteristics of high-strength filaments include:

• High tensile strength: They resist high loads without breaking.
• Increased impact resistance: They better absorb energy during impacts.
• Thermal stability: They often maintain their properties even at higher temperatures.
• Chemical resistance: Some types are resistant to various chemicals.

These filaments are often used for manufacturing functional prototypes, mechanical parts, tools, and components exposed to high stress. They are popular in industrial design, the automotive industry, and in the production of sports equipment.

When printing with high-strength filaments, higher extrusion temperatures and often a heated print bed are usually required. Proper setting of printing parameters is crucial for achieving optimal mechanical properties of the print.
