Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol (PETG)
Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol (PETG) is a durable and transparent thermoplastic used in 3D printing. Combining strength with easy printability, it offers chemical resistance and low warping. Ideal for functional prototypes and mechanical parts, PETG strikes a balance between the properties of ABS and PLA.
Applications
1
Functional Prototypes
PETG is commonly used in 3D printing to produce durable and functional prototypes due to its strength, chemical resistance, and ease of printing.
2
Mechanical Parts
PETG is suitable for manufacturing robust mechanical parts in 3D printing, where its strength and resistance to chemicals provide durability under various conditions.
3
Translucent Prints
PETG’s transparency makes it a preferred choice for creating translucent or clear 3D prints, suitable for applications such as lighting fixtures, display cases, or artistic projects.
