PCTG plastic for 3D printers

PCTG

— the plastic is from the family of glycol-modified polyesters, like the PETG discussed above (see the corresponding paragraph). However, in comparison, PCTG boasts increased strength, toughness and transparency. The material practically does not shrink when cooled and is able to withstand much stronger impacts than products made from similar plastics, while maintaining the same tensile strength and heat resistance. PCTG is recommended for 3D printing of housings for measuring instruments, lamps, elements of hand tools, etc.
