Excellent alternative to PET-G Spectrum Premium PCTG filament is an outstanding alternative to PET-G, which is well-known in the world of 3D printing. The PCTG filament belongs to the same material group of copolyesters and offers similarly easy printing as PET-G. A very important advantage of the Premium PCTG filament is its increased impact resistance, high dimensional stability, and low shrinkage. Spectrum Premium PCTG filament combines the most desirable properties of Tough PLA and PET-G. The PCTG material has a heat resistance of 76 °C, as well as an excellent print surface and higher elasticity. Additional benefits include the high chemical resistance of the printed models. Parts made with transparent Spectrum Premium PCTG colors have a higher clarity than their PET-G counterparts. This means that with a small number of outer contours, an almost transparent effect can be achieved. A heated build chamber is not required for printing.
