Non-Ultimaker PETG
PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol):
Overview:
PETG is well-suited for fabrication techniques like die cutting, routing, and bending. PETG is a thermoplastic polyester that provides significant chemical resistance, durability, and excellent formability for manufacturing. It’s extremely strong and has great chemical resistance. This allows it to print objects that can sustain high temperature, food-safe applications, and exceptional impact.
Application:
It is commonly used in single use and reusable drinking bottles, cooking oil containers, and FDA-compliant food storage containers. However, PETG is also found across the medical field; its rigid structure allows it to survive harsh sterilization processes, making it a perfect material to be used in medical implants, as well as pharmaceutical and medical device packaging.
