Material Details

Description

Ultrafuse PET is made from a premium PET and prints as easy as PLA, but is much stronger. The filament has a large operating window for printing (temperature vs. speed), so it can be used on every 3D-printer. PET will give you outstanding printing results: a good layer adhesion, a high resolution and it is easy to handle. Ultrafuse PET can be 100% recycled, is watertight and has great colors and finish.

Ultrafuse® PET is based on food-safe raw materials (granulate), which are suitable for food contact applications according to the European Plastics Regulation. Further, this material is evaluated for Food-Safe 3D printed applications and meets the requirements according to LFGB and Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004.

** To achieve faster printing speeds, it may be necessary to raise the nozzle temperature. The highest speed mentioned has been determined through our latest tests, ensuring optimal surface quality with a 0.4mm nozzle and 0.2mm layer height. Please note that as printing technology and equipment evolve, we anticipate the possibility of achieving even faster speeds in the future.
