Bambu Lab - PC FR
Bambu PC FR is a high-performance polycarbonate engineered for demanding applications requiring superior flame retardancy, impact resistance, and heat stability. With outstanding durability, Bambu PC FR excels across a wide range of professional applications, including industrial components, protective casings, and high-temperature environments in sectors like automotive, electronics, and manufacturing.
Top-Tier Flame Retardancy
Tested to meet to the UL 94-2023 V-0 standard, the top level of flame resistance for 3D printing filament, Bambu PC FR is engineered to prevent or slow flame propagation with exceptional self-extinguishing properties. Ideal for critical applications in electronics, automotive, and mechanical engineering.
* UL 94 is a plastics flammability standard established by Underwriters Laboratories (USA). V-0—the highest UL 94 V rating—indicates that burning stops within 10 seconds on a vertically positioned specimen, with dripping particles allowed as long as they are not ignited.
Engineering-Level Mechanical Properties
Bambu PC FR is an engineering-grade material with toughness comparable to PAHT-CF. Its exceptional stiffness and strength make it a top choice for structural components and protective casings.

Printing Tips
Drying Conditions：
Dry before use for higher printing quality. PC FR must be dried before use and kept moisture-free during the printing process. Store in a dry environment, such as an airtight storage container with a desiccant, after use. For more details, please refer to: Printing tips for Engineering materials on WIKI.
- In a blast drying oven: 80°C for 8 hours.
- On an X1 printer's heatbed: 90°C to 100°C for 12 hours.
Safety Attention:
The nozzle temperature should be between 260-280°C, and the heat bed temperature should be between 90-110°C. Please ensure safety during printing.
