PETG Filament

Today, PolyEthylene Terephthalate (PET) is a popular 3D material. Another common example of PET is our plastic bottles. This plastic is both stable and harmless, emits no unpleasant or harmful odors and is 100% recyclable. In its raw state, the filament has no color and is crystal clear. Once exposed to cold or heat the material quickly changes to a non-transparent state. A more advanced version if PET is a filament called PETG.

Applications of an PETG Filament:

• PETG is on a list of FDA approved polymers. This makes it completely ‘food safe’, meaning it’s safe for products like cups, and plates, etc. Needless to say, common applications for PET filament include food containers and various kitchen utensils.
