The mechanical properties of PET thermoplastic combine high strength with flexibility, making it ideal for printing mechanically stressed parts that require long-term durability. This durability is ensured by PET's excellent physicochemical properties, including its broad temperature resistance and resistance to chemicals such as solvents and weak acid and base solutions. Due to its low thermal expansion, PET can be printed on printers without a heated chamber or pad.
Main features:
More flexible and stronger than PLA and ABS
High impact resistance and long life, suitable for mechanically stressed parts
