Optical Excellence and Stability

Available in its natural colorless form with high transparency, in translucent blue and solid black, Ultrafuse® Pellets rPETG delivers a high-gloss finish ideal for applications demanding superior optical appearance and surface quality.

With low to no warping or distortion, Ultrafuse® Pellets rPETG combines excellent surface quality, transparency, and mechanical properties, making it the first choice for large-scale additive manufacturing (LSAM) and sustainable 3D printing projects.

Sustainable, Traceable and Food Safe

No less than 44 % of total waste* is generated by plastics. The 3D printing community provides a powerful opportunity to make current manufacturing methods more sustainable, so we have challenged ourselves again to create a pellet grade made from recycled material that is a serious alternative to virgin raw materials.

Made from recycled and glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate (PET) derived from traceable post-industrial waste, Ultrafuse® Pellets rPETG ensures food contact safety through a unique recycling process.

This modification enhances the material’s flexibility, impact resistance, and processing ease while maintaining its clarity, making PETG ideal for applications requiring durability, transparency, and easy manufacturing.

Construction

Pellet Printing the Future: Sustainable 3D-Printed Architecture with Recycled Ultrafuse® PETG Pellets

Forward AM and WEBER Additive collaborated on large-scale 3D printed wall panels using recycled PETG material, demonstrating the transformative potential of sustainable pellet-based 3D printing. The project's concept emerged from the collective vision of Forward AM, WEBER Additive, architects Moritz Mungenast & Luc Morroni, and printing experts from Ludwig Schleicher Anlagenbau.
