PETG is made from Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) enhanced with glycol (hence the letter G after PET). The glycol is added to the material composition during polymerization and the result is a filament that is clearer, less brittle, and easier to use than its base form of PET.

It’s an excellent filament choice for printing objects that need to be sturdy, have a smooth surface, and require lower shrinkage.

• Physical strength is generally higher with PETG compared to PLA.
• Temperature tolerance is typically much higher with PETG. Some extreme PETG blends like Arnite 3040 from Nexeo 3D can handle peak temperatures of up to 250ºC. However, a more common tolerance for PETG is around 75ºC. With PLA, on the other hand, you generally have to keep 3D printed parts below 55ºC to keep them solid.
• Outdoor use goes to PETG, as it handles weather and sun far better than PLA. On the other hand, PLA can be made much more durable when painted, protecting it from the elements.
• Transparency is easiest to achieve with a PETG filament
• Excellent layer adhesion
• Warp resistance
• Reduced shrinkage
• Higher density
• Chemical resistance to both acidic and alkali compounds
• Flexible printing on glass, acrylic, glass, blue tape and polyimide tape
• Odorlessness during printing

Colors in stock:
