Engineers and designers use Speciality PETG to produce durable prints with speed and agility that can withstand industrial applications including functional prototypes, jigs and fixtures, and end-use parts.

Speciality Materials provide basic print performance and can require additional workflow steps to print successfully. PETG requires the application of adhesion stick to the build plate prior to printing.

Specialty Materials are more advanced than Precision Materials. They are intended for users looking for advanced material properties, such as higher heat resistance, chemical resistance, and better durability. Specialty Materials provide basic print performance and may require additional workflow steps to print successfully.

• Excellent mechanical properties, including high durability and toughness: 8.1 kJ/m2 Impact Strength (ISO 179)
• Higher heat resistance than both PLA and Tough: 70C Heat • • Deflection Temperature (ASTM 648) Chemical resistance to acidic and alkali compounds
• Moisture Resistant: 1104 ppm moisture absorption (ISO 62)
• Prints with water-soluble PVA supports
• Final parts have good ductility and a glossy surface finish
• Easily combine the new PETG material with water-soluble PVA supports thanks to the 3D printer’s dual extruders

Smart Spool™ provides valuable information including material type, colour, and amount remaining via an RFID chip directly to MakerBot Print, while a desiccant in the spool maintains a low moisture level inside the drawer bay.

Store in the included a vacuum-sealed metalised polyester bag to avoid moisture absorption from air; long-term exposure to humidity can compromise material quality and performance. Make sure the built-in desiccant is in the spool to absorb any moisture exposure during the material loading process.
