PETG: PolyEthylene Terephthalate + Glycol
Unleash the Power of PETG: A Superior 3D Printing Material
Imagine 3D printing material that surpasses traditional options like PLA in terms of durability, strength, and versatility. That's where PETG comes in – a game-changer in the world of 3D printing.
PETG Unveiled
Derived from PET (yes, the same material used in countless drink bottles), PETG offers a compelling set of characteristics. Unlike PLA, it boasts superior resistance to shock loading, improved chemical stability, higher impact strength, and remarkable abrasion resistance.
PETG at a Glance
The possibilities with PETG extend even further:
- Carbon Fiber Infused: Dive into our Carbon Fiber section to explore this enhanced PETG variant.
- Tungsten Filled: Ideal for radiation shielding, this specialized filament is available upon request.
- Flame-Extinguishing (UL V0): Safeguard against fire risks with our Black variant (or request translucent white). Certified by Underwriter Laboratories (UL).
PETG Prowess
- Withstands higher temperatures (starts to deform at 70°C).
- Boasts exceptional layer adhesion.
- Ensures top-tier strength, durability, and impact resistance.
- Offers slight flexibility – bending before breaking.
- Comes in a variety of colors and finishes.
- Maintains transparency better than PLA.
- Classified as "Food Safe."
PETG Considerations
It's important to note that PETG may require some tuning for optimal results. Issues such as bridging, stringiness, moisture adsorption, and warping can be mitigated with careful attention to printing conditions. An enclosure and a heated bed plate can enhance bed adhesion.
Elevate your 3D printing game with PETG – a resilient, versatile, and high-performance material that's ready to bring your ideas to life.
