Recycled PETG - Models, Prototypes, Functional
The most budget-friendly choice from models, prototypes, and light-to-medium duty functional parts. Recycled PETG is our favorite material for general-purpose prototyping.
Advantages:
Lowest cost
Fast printing
Wide variety of translucent colors
Disadvantages:
Absorbs moisture from atmosphere, must be stored dry
When to use Recycled PETG:
General prototyping
Light-to-medium duty functional parts
Chemical resistance (solvents, fuel)
Our choice: IC3D Recycled PETG
IC3D recycled PETG filament is an environmentally friendly material crafted from post-consumer plastic waste, offering a sustainable alternative for 3D printing. This filament combines quality performance with a reduced ecological footprint, making it suitable for various applications from prototyping to functional parts. With excellent layer adhesion and durability, recycled PETG provides the desired strength and impact resistance. Additionally, the material features an aesthetically pleasing glossy finish.
Application examples:
3D printed furniture
Mock-up prototypes
Fixtures and tooling for low stress/low temperature processes
Large scale prototypes
