What is Smartfil PETG filament?

To begin with, it's important to understand what PETG filament is exactly.

PETG is a type of thermoplastic filament widely used in 3D printing.

It is derived from PET, the same material used in plastic bottles, but with additives that give it specific properties for 3D printing.

Characteristics of Smartfil PETG filament

Now let's talk about the distinctive characteristics of Smart Materials 3D's PETG filament:

Superior quality: Smart Materials 3D's PETG filament is manufactured to the highest quality standards, ensuring consistent and reliable 3D printing.

Strength and durability: PETG is known for its strength, making it an excellent choice for parts that need to withstand mechanical stress.

Translucency and shine: Smart Materials 3D's PETG filament offers exceptional translucency and shine, resulting in visually appealing prints.

Low deformation and warping: This filament has a lower tendency for deformation and warping compared to other materials like ABS, making it easier to print large parts and avoiding issues during the process.

Applications and usage examples

Smartfil PETG filament is versatile and can be used in a wide variety of applications. Here are some examples:

Functional prototyping: Thanks to its strength and durability, PETG is ideal for printing functional prototypes that need to undergo testing and trials.

Mechanical components: If you need to print mechanical parts that have to withstand load or fluids, PETG filament is an excellent choice due to its resistance to various chemicals and temperature.

Toys and accessories: PETG can also be used to print toys and accessories due to its attractive appearance and strength. It is also certified for food contact.

Prosthetics and orthotics: Natural-colored PETG has certification for food contact and biocompatibility, making it a valid option for prosthetics and orthotics that come into contact with human skin.
