PETG 3D printing
PETG combines the easy printability of PLA with much of the toughness of ABS. For functional parts, brackets and covers it is one of the best value-for-money choices.
Material properties
| Tensile strength | ~45–55 MPa |
|---|---|
| Heat resistance | ~70–80 °C |
| Toughness | medium–good |
| Key property | tough, chemical resistant, low warping |
Values are indicative; they vary with print orientation and settings.
Why choose it?
- Tough, handles impact and bending well
- Good chemical and moisture resistance
- Low warping — good for larger parts
- ~70–80 °C heat resistance
Typical applications
- Functional parts, mounts, brackets
- Machine covers, guards
- Parts in contact with liquids (non-food)
- Tool holders, fixtures
Keep in mind
- Slightly glossy surface, harder to sand than PLA
- For heat above 100 °C choose ABS/ASA or PA12
- We do not certify parts for food contact
Frequently asked questions
PETG or PLA?
If the part sees load, heat or moisture choose PETG; for form or visual models PLA is cheaper and crisper.
What is the maximum size?
Up to 340×320×340 mm in one piece; larger objects are split into sections and joined.
