What is PETG and Why Choose It?

3d printing PETG offers a unique combination of strength, flexibility, and chemical resistance. This material, derived from PET, is modified with glycol to improve clarity and printability, making it a trusted choice for functional and durable parts.

Prototyping PETG is a smart option when you need parts that can handle moderate bending and mechanical stress. It prints more cleanly than ABS and offers better toughness than PLA, making it well-suited for applications like brackets, covers, and enclosures.

We also offer carbon fiber PETG 3D printing, which is great for applications requiring enhanced stiffness and low weight.

Design Guidelines, Print Quality Tips, and Colors for 3D Printing PETG

PETG Design Guidelines

Minimum wall thickness – 1.0 mm
Supports – Often needed for overhangs and bridging features
Model complexity – Avoid fully enclosed or hard-to-access spaces
Build size - standard 300 x 300 x 300 mm
Tolerance – Standard dimensional accuracy is ±0.5 mm

Tips for PETG Print Quality

Surface finish – Smooth but may show fine stringing in detailed zones
Post-processing – Support removal may leave a texture; optional sanding helps
Accuracy – Best for parts that balance strength and flexibility, not ultra-fine detail
Result – Suits for prototypes, mechanical parts, and low-shrinkage applications

Available Colors for PETG

Standard
- Black,
- White,
- Natural,
- Red,
- Gray,
- Blue,
- Green,
- Yellow,
- Orange
Custom – Available upon request

Examples of 3D Printed PETG Parts

Explore real-world examples of 3D printing PETG in action. From functional prototypes to production-ready components, these parts demonstrate the performance and consistency of our PETG 3D printing service.

Where PETG Works Best

PETG is an excellent material for a wide range of applications that require strength, environmental resistance, and reliability. Some common use cases include:

– Enclosures and housings for electronics
– Functional prototypes for mechanical testing
– Containers and mechanical parts exposed to moisture or light chemicals
– Components for outdoor or industrial use
– Snap-fit joints and press-fit assemblies
– Prototypes requiring some flexibility without sacrificing strength

If your parts need to last under real-world conditions, PETG is a smart, affordable choice.

Pros and Cons of PETG

PETG is a widely used material in 3D printing, valued for its balance of strength, flexibility, and durability. Below we break down the core advantages and limitations to help you decide if it’s the right fit for your next project.

Advantages

Tough and impact-resistant – PETG suits for parts that need to endure drops, stress, or mechanical use.
Flexible under stress – Slight give makes it suitable for applications that need stress tolerance without being brittle.
Resistant to moisture and chemicals – Suitable for outdoor use or components exposed to mild solvents or humidity.
Clean print quality – Produces solid parts with good detail, making it reliable for both prototypes and end-use parts.
Low risk of warping – Offers dimensional stability on most standard FDM machines.

Limitations

Slight stringing possible – PETG may show fine stringing in detailed areas
Support structures required – Complex geometries or overhangs will typically need supports, which we remove post-print.
Not ideal for ornamental detail – While accurate, it’s not recommended for ultra-fine textures or decorative models.
Limited surface finish variety – PETG does not offer glossy or resin-like finishes; matte is the typical result.
