PETG 3D Printing
Durable, Easy-to-Print 3D Printing Material. Versatile Mechanical Strength, Chemical Resistance & Superior Printability.
PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol modified) is an industrial-grade thermoplastic engineered to combine ease of printing with robust performance. By bridging elements of PLA’s low-warpage and ABS’s toughness, PETG delivers a well-balanced solution for functional prototypes, end-use parts and medium-duty applications.
With excellent layer-adhesion, reliable dimensional stability, and increased resistance to chemicals and moisture, PETG is ideal for mechanical components, housings, and production-grade parts where printability and durability go hand-in-hand.
Whether you are producing consumer product enclosures, fluid-handling components, automotive brackets or industrial jigs, PETG offers a compelling mix of performance, ease and cost-effectiveness.

Material Type: PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol)Technology: FDM (Fused Deposition Modelling)Colour Options: BlackFinish Options: Vibro Polished | Vapour SmoothedMax Build / Print Volume: Up to 500 × 500 × 700 mmMechanical / Thermal Properties:Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT): 69 °CTensile Strength: 34 MPaTensile Modulus: 1 810 MPaElongation at Break: 8.6 %
PETG is particularly well suited for:Functional prototypes and mechanical partsIndustrial housings, enclosures, panels, and medium-duty structural componentsFluid or chemical-handling components, containers, and vesselsFixtures, jigs, and production aids requiring durability and dimensional accuracyConsumer-product casings and appliance parts where finish and performance matterAutomotive interior and under-hood components where accessible printing and moderate performance meetIn short, PETG is the go-to polymer when you need a material that combines strong printability, good mechanical and chemical resistance, and functional durability — making it ideal for engineering, industrial, and production-grade parts.In short, ASA is the go-to polymer for outdoor and industrial parts requiring long-term UV stability, dimensional accuracy, and professional aesthetics. It maintains strength, impact resistance, and colour integrity in harsh environments where standard plastics fade or degrade.
PETG parts can be refined to deliver higher aesthetic and functional quality through:Vapour Smoothing – Achieves a sleek, sealed surface finish that enhances moisture and chemical resistance while improving overall appearance.Vibro Polishing – Reduces visible layer lines for a uniform surface finish, ideal for visible consumer-facing parts and branding elements.Painting or Coating – Optional decorative or functional finishes for specific colour or gloss requirements, preserving PETG’s inherent durability.These post-processing treatments ensure that PETG parts not only function well but also meet the visual, tactile, and finish-quality demands of production-grade components.
PETG: Advantages & Applications
PETG is engineered for balance—delivering performance, reliability, and manufacturability. It offers clear advantages for functional and production applications with excellent mechanical properties, resistance, and ease of use.
