PETG-CF

Carbon Fiber PETG is an FDM composite material based on PETG and added with chopped carbon fiber. It improves rigidity, dimensional stability and appearance texture while retaining the ease of printing and moisture resistance of PETG. It is suitable for functional prototypes, brackets, fixtures and small and medium-sized batches of hard plastic parts, and has high impact performance.
