Description
Main advantages of PCTG
Superior Impact Resistance
PCTG is tougher than regular PETG, withstanding drops and heavy impacts, making it perfect for durable parts and prototypes.
Excellent Transparency
It offers a glossy, clear finish, ideal for see-through designs or prints that need a polished look.
️Chemical Resistance
PCTG can resist a variety of chemicals, oils, and grease, making it useful in industrial and practical applications.
High Heat Resistance
It can tolerate higher temperatures than PLA without deforming, which expands its range of use for functional parts.
Flexible Yet Strong
It has a balance of flexibility and strength, making it great for parts that need to bend without breaking.
Easy to Print
PCTG is known for good bed adhesion, minimal warping, and reliable print results, even for large objects.
Food Safe
It’s approved for food contact, so it can be used for kitchenware, storage containers, and more.
