Strong & Flexible 3D Printing With PETG
PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol) is an impact-resistant and flexible 3D printing material that combines the strength of ABS with the printability of PLA. It is ideal for functional prototypes, mechanical parts, and durable components where both durability and chemical resistance are needed.
PETG is known for its high impact strength, resistance to moisture and UV rays, and good thermal properties. It has a slight flexibility, making it more break-resistant than PLA, and it is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
Properties of PETG:
- Strong & Impact Resistant – High tensile strength and impact resistance
- Resistant to Chemicals & Moisture – Perfect for demanding environments
- Flexible & Durable – Combines strength with a bit of flexibility
- UV & Weather Resistant – Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use
- Minimal Warping & Shrinkage – Easy to print with high precision

Hvornår vælger du PETG frem for PLA, ABS eller PA6-CF?
PETG vs. Andre 3D-Printmaterialer — Guide Til Materialevalg
PETG rammer a soede punkt midt in materialespektret — more robust end PLA, nemmere at printe end ABS, and more prisvenligt end tekniske filamenter as PA6-CF. Her is hvornaar PETG is the rigtige valg and hvornaar a andet material passer bedre.
PETG vs. PLA
PLA is hurtigere at printe, giver skarpere details and is billigere — men the is sproedt and taaler not belastning. PETG is the oplagte valg when emnet must haandteres, belastes let or udsaettes for fugt. Til rene display- and praesentationsmodeller is PLA stadig the billigste and hurtigste valg.
PETG vs. ABS
ABS taaler hoejere temperaturer (glasovergang 105°C) and can limes and bearbejdes traditionelt. PETG is to gengaeld markant nemmere at printe without warping, giver a more ensartet overflade and behoever intet opvarmet kammer. For the fleste funktionelle emner ved moderat varme (under 75°C) is PETG the pragmatiske valg.
PETG vs. PA6-CF
PA6-CF (kulfiberforstaerket nylon) is in a helt anden klasse — stivhed, temperaturbestandighed and dimensional stabilitet der matcher tekniske komponenter. Prisen is tilsvarende. PETG daekker langt the fleste funktionelle behov to a broekdel of prisen and with langt enklere printproces.
- Emnet skal håndteres, belastes let eller udsættes for slag i hverdagen.
- Du har brug for fugtresistens — væskeberørte dele, udendørs brug i moderate forhold, emner i fugtige rum.
- Du har brug for semi-transparens eller klar finish til lysgennemstrømning.
- Emnet skal tåle moderate temperaturer op til 75°C (direkte sol, varmt skab, let maskinvarme).
- Du er i tvivl mellem PLA og ABS — PETG er som regel det rigtige kompromis.

Typiske opgaver vi løser i PETG hos Maker Factory
Hvornaar Er PETG Det Rette 3D-Printmateriale?
PETG is the filament vi griber to when emnet must fungere in praksis, not bare se godt ud. Det is materialet for mekaniske beslag, enclosures, fixtures and transportbeholdere — all the emner der must kunne taale at blive tabt, haandteret and brugt. Her is the typiske applications hvor PETG is the right choice:
Mekaniske Beslag and Fixtures
Produktionslinjer, laboratorier and vaerkstedsmiljoeer bruger PETG to custom beslag, holdere and fixtures. Materialet taaler the slag and belastninger der opstaar under normal brug, and dets dimensionelle stabilitet goer the egnet to emner der must monteres with skruer and bolte. Ved gentaget montering and demontering holder PETG langt bedre end PLA.
Enclosures and Elektronikhuse
Elektronikudviklere bruger PETG to prototype- and smaaserieproduktion of enclosures, fordi materialet is elektrisk isolerende, taaler varme from komponenter and can laves in semi-transparent form to lysdioder and displays. For flame retardant enclosures to stroem- or forbrugerelektronik skifter vi to PC-FR.
Vaeskeberoerte Dele and Transportbeholdere
Fugt- and kemikalieresistensen goer PETG to a godt valg to beholdere, tragtspidser, sproejtedyser and other emner der moeder vaeske. Kombineret with foedevarekontakt-godkendte materials can PETG also bruges to foedevarerelaterede komponenter — men always efter specifik vurdering.
Funktionelle Prototypes Der Testes
Ingenioerer bruger PETG when prototypen must testes in the rigtige brugssituation — not blot vises frem. Materialet sejer nok to at taale brug, men is samtidig overkommeligt prismaessigt sammenlignet with tekniske filamenter. Naar prototypen has valideret designet, flytter vi ofte to PA6-CF or CNC-fraesning to produktion.
Vi printede for nylig en serie mekaniske beslag i sort PETG til et maskinbyggerfirma i Nordjylland — beslagene skulle erstatte en metalkomponent som førhen blev bestilt som engangsordre. Kunden valgte PETG fordi materialet tåler hyppig montering og demontering uden at knække, og fordi prisen var under halvdelen af den oprindelige metaldel. Beslagene har nu siddet i drift i seks måneder uden klager — og kunden har bestilt yderligere seks varianter.

Hurtige Spoergsmaal
Er PETG godkendt to foedevarer?
PETG-raavare is ofte godkendt, men printet resultat kraever specifik vurdering. Contact us for raadgivning om dit konkrete emne.
Kan PETG males or overfladebehandles?
Ja, PETG can slibes and males with primer + akrylmaling. Overfladen has a lidt glat karakter der kraever a grundig grunderfase for best resultat.
Hvad koster PETG 3D-print hos Maker Factory?
Prisen on PETG-print beregnes ud from emnets vaegt, printtid and eventuel post-processing. Et lille beslag (10–30 g) starter typisk from 180–280 kr. inkl. VAT. Mellemstore emner on 50–150 g ligger typisk in 350–650 kr. Stoerre modeller, serier or emner with kompleks geometri prises individuelt.
PETG ligger marginalt over PLA prismaessigt on grund of hoejere materialepris and laengere printtid per emne. Vi giver always a fast quote baseret on din konkrete fil. Erhvervskunder: netto 8 dage. Private customers: prepayment.

What is PETG, and hvad bruges the til?
PETG (Polyethylenterephthalat Glycol) is a glykol-modificeret variant of PET — samme plasttype as vandflasker and foedevareemballage. Som 3D-printmateriale is the a of the mest alsidige FDM-plastre, der kombinerer god printbarhed with reel slagfasthed and fugtresistens. Ifoelge Wikipedia's opslag om PET is materialet bredt anvendt in packaging, medicinske komponenter and tekstiler. Det bruges primaert to funktionelle dele, mekaniske beslag, enclosures and emner der must taale haandtering and fugt.
Er PETG staerkere end PLA?
Ja — maalt on slagfasthed and boejningsstyrke is PETG markant staerkere end PLA. PETG has a charpy-slagvaerdi omkring 7–9 kJ/m², hvor PLA ligger on 2–5 kJ/m². Vigtigere is dog at PETG not is sproedt: the sejer frem for at knaekke ved belastning. Det is derfor PETG anbefales to emner der must haandteres, monteres or taale let mekanisk belastning. Simplify3D's materialeguide giver a god comparison on tvaers of FDM-materials.
Kan PETG bruges to foedevarekontakt?
Ren PETG-raavare is typisk godkendt to foedevarekontakt, men the 3D printed resultat is not automatisk egnet. 3D printed overflader has mikroskopiske riller der can harbore bakterier, and tilsaetningsstoffer (farvepigmenter, processing-additiver) can vaere ikke-foedevaregodkendte. For foedevarekontakt anbefaler vi always a specifik vurdering and eventuelt a inert surface treatment. Contact us for konkret raadgivning om dit emne.
Kan PETG bruges udendoers?
PETG klarer sig bedre udendoers end PLA and ABS, men the is not UV-stabilt in aarsnit. Til midlertidig udendoersbrug (saesonemner, skilte, prototypes) fungerer the fint. Til permanent udendoersbrug anbefaler vi ASA, der is saerligt designet to UV- and vejrresistens.
What is forskellen on PETG and PETG-CF?
PETG-CF is kulfiberforstaerket PETG with markant hoejere stivhed, dimensional stabilitet and varmemodstand. Det printer dog anderledes (kraever slidstaerkt nozzle-system), is dyrere and has a mat, struktureret finish. Standard PETG is the rigtige valg to funktionelle emner der not kraever ekstra stivhed; PETG-CF kommer in spil when emnet must holde form under belastning or varme.
Hvor quickly can jeg faa a PETG-print leveret?
Vi sender quote inden for 24 timer on business days. Produktionstiden for standard PETG-emner is typisk 2–4 business days afhaengig of stoerrelse and post-processing. Ved hastesager saa angiv deadline in forespoergslen — vi prioriterer and melder retur om vi can naa det.
Kan jeg faa PETG 3D printing in a bestemt farve?
Vi printer primaert in sort, hvid and transparent PETG, da the daekker the fleste funktionelle and praesentationsformaal. Other farver can ofte skaffes on bestilling — naevn oensket farve in forespoergslen, saa afklarer vi quickly om vi has filament on lager or can skaffe the inden for leveringstiden.
