PETG

PETG (Glycol-modified Polyethylene Terephthalate)

PETG is an excellent alternative to ABS and PLA. It offers the strength and durability of ABS, and the superb layer adhesion and ease of use of PLA. PETG also provides excellent impact and chemical resistance. Unlike ABS, PETG does not require a heated bed, barely warps, and does not produce any odors or fumes. PETG is not biodegradable but is recyclable. It is best used to create mechanical parts. Virgin PETG is FDA-Compliant. However, the pigments used to develop PETG prevent it from being FDA-compliant.
