What is PET?

Fused Deposition Modeling [FDM]

PET

(Polyethylene Terephthalate) filament is one of the most widely used thermoplastics in 3D printing. Known for its strength, flexibility, and excellent layer adhesion, PET is ideal for functional prototypes, mechanical parts, and everyday prints. Its durability and impact resistance make it a

popular choice for projects requiring long-term use.

Excellent Printing Performance,

PET filament provides smooth extrusion and reduces the risk of warping, ensuring consistent results across various print sizes. Its natural transparency allows for clear or translucent finishes, while it can also be easily colored for custom applications. PET is less brittle compared to PLA,

making it more forgiving under mechanical stress, yet easier to print than ABS.

Safe and Functional Applications,

Another key advantage of PET is its food-safe properties (when certified), making it suitable for containers, bottles, and kitchen tools. It is also resistant to moisture and common chemicals, which enhances its usability in outdoor and industrial applications.

With PET filament, you can combine strength, aesthetics, and reliability in your projects.

Accuracy

Accuracy  0.50 mm + 0.5%

For example: a product with dimensions of 50x50x100 mm can be ±0.5% with a lower limit of ±050 mm (±0.020″) bigger or smaller in any direction.

Protection

IP protection is what most people are worried about when it comes to 3D printing because we get orders in which we have to copy the original design precisely.

Non-Disclosure Agreements

We uphold strict confidentiality by default for all customer communication, projects, and models. Should you prefer a formal agreement, we offer standard NDAs or can review your own. Your trust is our priority.
