PETG - R3D

PETG filament exhibits exceptional properties highly valued in various applications. Its minimal shrinkage and warpage characteristics make it an ideal choice for 3D printing, ensuring stable and precise prints. The PETG filament by R3D also boasts excellent chemical resistance, withstanding both acids and alkalis admirably. Moreover, its superior chemical resistance allows direct contact with food, making it a reliable choice for food-safe applications. Notably, PETG filament aligns with eco-friendly practices as it is recyclable, contributing positively to sustainable manufacturing processes.
