PETG

The modern alternative to ABS. PETG outperforms ABS in nearly every aspect but is much less prone to shrink and warping in additive processes. PETG is our most cost effective material and is recommended for many appreciations due to its good mechanical strength and aesthetic characteristics. It is often used for applications which need to contain food and water.
