Industrial Applications
PETG is one of the most widely used industrial thermoplastics, common in packaging, thermoforming, and engineering industries. MakerBot METHOD PETG brings these industrial-grade properties to desktop 3D printing, allowing you to produce durable prints with speed and agility. The material's chemical resistance makes it a preferred choice for liquid containers and bottles, and it's widely used in research laboratories that require chemical resistance in functional parts or containers.
Smart Spool Technology
This filament utilizes Smart Spool technology, which provides valuable information including material type, color, and amount remaining via an RFID chip directly to MakerBot Print. A built-in desiccant in the spool maintains a low moisture level inside the drawer bay, ensuring consistent print quality and material performance.
Technical Specifications
As a Specialty Material, PETG provides excellent print performance and may require additional workflow steps for optimal results. PETG requires the application of adhesion stick to the build plate prior to printing. Store in the included vacuum-sealed metalized polyester bag to avoid moisture absorption from air and maintain material quality.
