FDM / MATERIAL PROFILE

PET

PET is a polyester for technical and functional printed parts. It combines precise geometries with a smooth, continuous surface appearance.

Illustrative PET component
YOUR POSSIBILITIES

Typical applications

Precisely fitting housings, covers, brackets and fixtures, as well as functional prototypes.

YOUR BENEFITS

Why PET?

PET offers smooth surfaces and good layer adhesion. It is an attractive choice for stable everyday parts with clean contours.

Performance profile

Heat deflection temperature (HDT)
up to 63 °C
Tensile strength
up to 33.4 MPa
Elongation at break
up to 2.7 %
Tensile modulus
up to 1,933 MPa

Ideas for your application

Device manufacture, fixture construction, product development and technical one-off parts.

Surface and appearance

A smooth plastic appearance with visible print layers.

Designing your part to fit

Consistent walls and rounded load transitions support stable shapes. Layer orientation is planned to suit tensile and bending loads.

Finishing and post-processing

Edges can be deburred and functional surfaces selectively post-processed.
