Polycaprolactone

Term · Additive manufacturing and 3D printing · MLC-T-ADM-000286

A biodegradable polyester, abbreviated as PCL, characterized by its low melting point and excellent biocompatibility. In additive manufacturing, PCL is processed via fused deposition modeling (FDM) or bioprinting techniques, often as a filament or bio-ink. Its melting point is approximately 60 degrees Celsius, making it suitable for applications requiring thermal sensitivity.
