Ultimaker PETG's versatility makes it the go-to material to standardize

processes

Ultimaker [https://ultimaker.com/ ], the global leader in professional 3D

printing, now offers Ultimaker PETG to provide users with a best-in-class

standard material for industrial applications.

Ultimaker has created and extensively tested material profiles to ensure a

hassle-free, reliable PETG experience on its 3D printers. PETG, a Glycol

Modified version of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), is one of the top three

materials used for 3D printing, according to Ultimaker's 2021 3D Printing

Sentiment Index [https://ultimaker.com/3d-printing-sentiment-index ].

Ultimaker PETG is wear-, temperature- and chemical-resistant and particularly

well-suited for use in industrial applications, a growing segment as Ultimaker

research [https://ultimaker.com/3d-printing-sentiment-index ] showed more

companies are using 3D printing to develop production tools.

The material seamlessly fits into the company's ecosystem through NFC

recognition and sets the standard for industrial use. The material's usability,

versatility and scalability make it easy to deploy across organizations –

meaning fewer changeovers between materials are needed which results in

increased efficiency.

The material is compatible with PVA and Breakaway support to enable a wide

variety of models. Its users will additionally benefit from access to a

complete package of technical, safety and compliance information.

Change-makers shift to production tools

The pandemic inspired engineers globally to transform and develop game-changing

use cases with 3D printing. The versatility and standardized use of Ultimaker

PETG will only further enable innovation across industries.

Miguel Calvo, CTO at Ultimaker, said: "Adding Ultimaker PETG to our set of

standard materials is a natural next step from the launch of our platform. It

enhances our material portfolio as industrial use cases for 3D printing

continue to rise. Its excellent all-round properties are a strong addition to

our platform and are ideal for typical industrial environments and

applications. Ultimaker PETG will further fuel creativity and innovation as

users work hard to ensure the continuation of production and everyday life,

despite the external challenges we have all faced."
