PETG,
PETG is a Glycol Modified version of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)
It is a semi-rigid material with good impact resistance, but it has a slightly softer surface which makes it prone to wear. The material also benefits from great thermal characteristics.
It’s an excellent filament choice for printing objects that need to be sturdy, have a smooth surface
Material Characteristics:
- Durable and tough.
- Good chemical / water resistance.
- High impact strength.
TPU/ TPE,
thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU/TPE) material
Material Characteristics:
- Shore Hardness = 85A to 95A
- Truly flexible (no fill or layer manipulation required to achieve performance)
- 660% elongation allows for repeated movement and impact without wear or cracking
- Polyurethane composition allows for excellent vibration reduction
- Abrasion resistance 20% better than ABS and 68% better than PLA
- Chemical resistant to many materials, including naphtha, ASTM Oils #1-3, petroleum and freon
- REACH and RoHS 2002/95/EC Directive compliant
Suggested Applications:
- Seals,
- Gaskets,
- Plugs,
- Leveling Feet,
- Protective Applications
PLA,
Polylactic Acid, commonly known as PLA is one of the most popular materials used in desktop 3D printing
