The BASF product portfolio includes professional 3D printing materials both for general purposes as well as advanced engineering applications. One of the materials from the BASF catalog is the PC GF30 Ultrafuse filament composed of a polycarbonate matrix and fiberglass reinforcement (30%).

The filament PC GF30 Ultrafuse does not have the typical black color, but it is dark gray. Its mechanical properties are really high, approximately 250% more resistant than ABS and a thermal resistance 3 times higher than PLA (HDT: 137ºC). But these are not the highlights of this material. The PC GF30 Ultrafuse has the flame extinction certificate UL94 (V0), which ensures that the fire extinguishes in 10 seconds and without dripping. This certificate is the best in thermoplastics and the one that offers the most safety thanks to its self-extinguishing and non-drip properties, which prevent the spread of the flame to the elements that are nearby. Thanks to the PC matrix, this material is a good electrical insulator, shows low values of moisture absorption and high chemical resistance, being an ideal material for manufacturing housings for electrical and electronic components. If these housings or other products manufactured with the PC GF30 Ultrafuse are exposed to the sun, they will maintain the tonality uniformly thanks to their high resistance to UV rays.

Like the PC filaments, the PC GF30 Ultrafuse has print temperatures a little higher than conventional materials, with a base temperature of 100°C and a nozzle temperature of 320-330°C. These extrusion temperature values are somewhat higher than the maximums reached by some Desktop type 3D printers. o solve this problem there is the PT100 Upgrade Kit, which allows to increase the temperature to 400ºC. To ensure adhesion to the base, it is recommended to use a microperforated base, DimaFix or Magiggo PC, a special adhesive for the PC. When containing glass fibers nozzle wear is very pronounced and the use of a hardened steel nozzle or a Nozzle Olsson Ruby is recommended. The Nozzle Olsson Ruby is the toughest and highest quality 3D printing nozzle on the market thanks to a ruby tip integrated in a brass nozzle.

The PC GF30 Ultrafuse has been developed for the manufacture of functional prototypes for the most demanding sectors, such as mechanical, electrical, electronic and automotive engineering. In addition, this filament allows to make final pieces thanks to its high quality surface finish.

Bedrock 3D PC GF30 is a filament reinforced with glass fiber, known for its exceptional strength and abrasive properties. Because of this, it is essential to use high-performance nozzles such as the hardened steel nozzle or the Olsson Ruby Nozzle. This prevents premature wear and ensures consistent 3D printing quality, always using nozzle diameters of 0.4 mm or larger.

To guarantee proper adhesion of Bedrock 3D PC GF30 to the build plate, it is recommended to use Magigoo PC. This specialized adhesive solves one of the main challenges when printing PC filaments — their low initial adhesion to the build surface.

A chamber temperature of 90 ºC is recommended to achieve parts with optimal mechanical strength and a flawless surface finish.

After each 3D print, store the spool in its original packaging, in a clean, dry environment with stable temperature conditions, to preserve the material’s quality for future prints.
