PCTG Filament
Price range: 75.34 PLN through 119.00 PLN gross
Fiberlogy PCTG is a modern 3D printing filament that serves as the best alternative to PET-G. It offers higher impact strength, temperature resistance, and crystalline transparency, while maintaining ease of printing and low shrinkage. Ideal for durable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing prints, even on home 3D printers.
Fiberlogy PCTG is a filament from the polyester family that combines the ease of printing of PET-G with premium technical specifications. Compared to its popular counterpart, PCTG stands out for its significantly higher impact strength, temperature resistance, and exceptional clarity, making it an excellent choice for both home users and professionals.
In impact tests, PCTG achieves a result of approximately 90 kJ/m² (for comparison, PET-G: 5–8 kJ/m² in the notched Izod test). As a result, PCTG prints are significantly more resistant to impacts and mechanical stress. The filament retains its properties at temperatures up to 76°C, which enhances its functionality in demanding projects.
Like PET-G, PCTG does not require a heated chamber and is characterized by low shrinkage and high dimensional stability. This makes it an easy-to-use material, even for those just starting out in 3D printing.
Fiberlogy PCTG is BPA-free, fully recyclable, and, in the Pure TR version, approved for food contact*, which further expands its range of applications.
Thanks to its combination of durability, resistance, and aesthetics, PCTG is ideal for:
- prototyping—strong and durable test parts,
- printing functional parts—components exposed to mechanical stress,
- decorative printing—transparent and aesthetically pleasing models with crystal-clear clarity,
- food-related projects* – functional parts safe for contact with food.
*Applies to the PCTG Pure TR version.
