Spectrum Premium PCTG ARCTIC WHITE 1.75mm 1kg

Excellent alternative for PET-G

Spectrum Premium PCTG filament is an excellent alternative to PET-G, which is well-known in the 3D printing world. Belonging to the same material family of copolyesters, PCTG filament offers similar ease of printing as PET-G. A very important advantage of the Premium PCTG filament is its increased impact strength, high dimensional stability and low shrinkage. Spectrum Premium PCTG filament combines the most desirable features of Tough PLA and PET-G. PCTG material has a heat deflection temperature of 76°C, as well as an excellent print surface and higher elasticity. Additional advantages include the high chemical resistance of the printed models.
Elements made using Spectrum Premium PCTG transparent colours have higher clarity than their counterparts made using PET-G. This means that it is possible to achieve an effect close to transparency with few external contours.

A heated build chamber is not required for printing.

Key Features:

• heat deflection temperature (HDT) ? 76°C
• higher impact strength than premium PET-G
• higher transparency than premium PET-G (applies to transparent colours)
• ease of printing, processing and finishing
• chemical resistance,
• high dimensional accuracy of the printed elements
• hydrophobic, odourless
• excellent print surface

Applications

• visual and functional prototyping
• goodness of fit tests
• conceptual models
• production tooling

VERIFY YOUR SPOOL - the most precise quality control system on  the market

Filament for 3D printers is manufactured by the method of free extrusion, which is one of the most difficult processing techniques by extrusion, due to the particularly significant impact of process parameters on product dimensions and material homogenization.

During the production each 1mm of Spectrum Filament is being continuously measured in 2 axes with ±0.8µm accuracy, which allow obtaining a high-quality final product. To prove this, Spectrum Filaments, as one of the few manufacturers in the world, has introduced the possibility of online presentation, individually for each manufactured spool:

• the course of diameter on the entire length of the spool,
• mean diameter,
• ovality,
• standard deviation

Precise survey guarantees that Spectrum Filaments products meet rigorous market requirements.
