BASF Ultrafuse PC GF30 Black from Forward AM is a high-quality 3D printing filament based on polycarbonate, reinforced with 30% glass fibers. This material is specifically designed for technical applications requiring high stiffness and strength. The glass fiber reinforcement provides improved dimensional stability and reduced shrinkage compared to pure PC, making it ideal for precise functional parts. The recommended printing temperature ranges from 270 °C to 310 °C, while the print bed should be preheated to 110 °C to 130 °C. A heated enclosure is strongly recommended to avoid warping and achieve optimal results. Suitable applications include housings, fasteners, mechanically stressed parts, and prototypes in the automotive and aerospace industries. The material’s strengths include high impact resistance, heat resistance, and chemical resistance. However, PC GF30 is prone to nozzle abrasion, so a hardened steel or brass nozzle is recommended. Due to the fibers, the print surface may be slightly rough and require post-processing. Overall, BASF Ultrafuse PC GF30 Black is an excellent choice for demanding projects requiring durability and precision.
