Polymaker PC-Max™ is an advanced polycarbonate based filament designed specifically for desktop FDM/FFF 3D printing. In addition to high printing quality, great mechanical strength and heat resistance, Polymaker PC-Max™ offers excellent impact strength and fracture toughness, making it the ideal choice for engineering applications.
Extreme Toughness: Polymaker PC-Max™ offers the absolute best in toughness that is simply unobtainable from other 3D printing materials of similar stiffness. This makes Polymaker PC-Max™ an excellent choice for real-world, engineering applications.
Heat Resistance: Polymaker PC-Max™ offers better heat resistance than almost all other 3D printing materials currently in the market. It can withstand temperatures well above 110 ºC.
Easy Printing: PC used to be the monopoly for only those expensive, “industrial” FDM machines. Well, not any more. Polymaker PC-Max™ is designed specifically for desktop 3D printing, with moderate printing temperatures and excellent warping resistance.
Let’s Talk Engineering: For over 60 years Polycarbonate (PC) has become one of the most widely used engineering plastics and helped shape the modern world. Now with Polymaker PC-Max™ this age-old material has found a new youth in the burgeoning industry of 3D printing.
Excellent Mechanical Strength: Parts made with Polymaker PC-Max™ shows much improved mechanical strength compared to ABS and PLA under almost any deformation test.
Post-Process Capabilities: Polymaker PC-Max™ can be easily post-processed. Sand your print to achieve either a beautiful smooth surface or spray it with a clear coat of lacquer to obtain a glass-like transparency.
Uncompromised Quality: With our eight step quality control process and rigorous in-house testing, you can rest assured that Polymaker PC-Max™ will produce beautiful, reliable and accurate printed parts every time.

Have conducted several scans now with the raptor, very happy with the end results. It should be noted that further software and or skills are required to do anything further with the scans beyond processing the point cloud. I purchased adobe substance which is able to take the scanned object and fill it in, this is necessary if you wish to make 3d prints from the hollow scanned items. Otherwise very happy with the experience so far, four stars awarded as it is still early days and I have no other scanning experience to compare to. Scanner itself is well made and comes with everything you need to get going albeit a computer to run the software. Looking forward to future projects with this new tool.
I have run through lots of this as a secondary school teacher and found this filament to be smooth and operates well in our new 3D printers. I've had few issues with printing and have been happy with the results. I have lots of other colours in the same batch so have good choices for print jobs.
