Great alternative to PET-G
Spectrum Premium PCTG filament is an excellent alternative to PET-G, which is well-known in the 3D printing world. Belonging to the same family of copolyester materials, PCTG filament offers the same ease of printing as PET-G. A very important advantage of Premium PCTG filament is increased impact strength, high dimensional stability and low shrinkage. Spectrum Premium PCTG filament combines the most appreciated characteristics of Tough PLA and PET-G. PCTG material has a heat deflection temperature of 76 °C, excellent print surface and increased elasticity. Additional advantages include the high chemical resistance of printed models.
Elements made of transparent Spectrum Premium PCTG colors have higher transparency compared to their counterparts made of PET-G. This means that a near-transparency effect can be achieved with few outer contours.
No heated printing chamber is needed for printing.
Key features:
heat deflection temperature (HDT) – 76°C
increased impact strength compared to premium PET-G
increased transparency compared to premium PET-G (applies to transparent colors)
ease of printing, processing and finishing
chemical resistance,
high dimensional accuracy of printed elements
hydrophobic, odorless
excellent print surface
Application:
visual and functional prototyping
fit-testing
conceptual models
manufacturing tooling
Packaging
Filament wound on a transparent spool. The spool contains information on the material type, diameter, color and recommended printing temperature. Each spool is vacuum-packed with a moisture absorber. All in an original laminated Spectrum Filaments box.
