TECH-G is a very high strength PETG. TECH-G was developed to not only be high strength, but also have limited elongation. Engineering firms were using PLA and ABS for initial form and fit evaluations. In some cases, the strength of these materials allowed some limited functional use. In the case of PLA, it was the brittle nature of medium or larger parts that severely limited functional testing. With ABS, the limit was always tensile strength. With TECH-G, the development and design industry has an easy to print material with much higher tensile when 3D printed and enough elongation so as to be truly useful in functional testing.
Specifications when 3D Printed:
- Tensile strength: 5,900 psi
- Ultimate elongation: 3%
- Tg glass transition temp: 77C
Typical Print Settings:
- Print temp: 238C - 245C
- Nozzle: any size
- Print speed: ABS speeds, or slower for high detailed prints
- Retraction: .5mm/.1mm nozzle (e.g., for a .5mm nozzle = 2.5mm)
- Print bed: glass heated to 45C with coat of PVA
