PETG

3D Printing in PETG

PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol) is an industrial-grade material designed for high print speed and throughput while maintaining the dependable mechanical properties PETG is known for. This variant is optimized for applications where fast iteration, part repeatability, and functional strength are key.

PETG offers a valuable combination of impact resistance, thermal stability, and chemical tolerance—making it ideal for structural components, jigs and fixtures, and production-ready prototypes. Its excellent layer adhesion and durability under moderate stress make it a reliable choice for engineering-grade applications.

PETG Summary

Use PETG for robust, production quality parts with fast turnaround

PETG delivers a strong balance of performance, detail, and speed. It’s a go-to material for engineers who need functional parts that are dimensionally stable, tough, and ready for immediate deployment. The high-flow formulation that we use allows for efficient printing of large or complex geometries without compromising material properties.

PETG Material Properties

PETG is suitable for demanding use cases where parts must endure mechanical loads, minor impacts, or moderate temperatures. This makes it ideal for jigs, fixtures, enclosures, mounting brackets, and structural elements.

The material resists moisture absorption and offers good chemical stability, making it appropriate for both prototype and low-volume production environments.
