PETG-CF

Intermediate

Carbon Fiber PETG

PETG-CF combines the chemical resistance and moisture tolerance of PETG with the stiffness of carbon fiber reinforcement. The result is a material that prints more reliably than CF-Nylon while delivering significantly better mechanical properties than standard PETG. A great engineering material for intermediate users.
