Food-Safe 3D Printer Filament has become essential for anyone looking to create 3D-printed items that will come into contact with food. As 3D printing advances, more people are asking whether they can safely use their 3D printers to create food-related items. The answer is yes, but it requires careful selection of the right filament and […]
In general, color-changing filament represents thermochromism in 3D printing. This means that the color of the material changes based on its temperature. Materials utilize this phenomenon through Leuco dyes used in color-changing items. In addition, using Leuco dyes will help you achieve a gradient from warmer (lighter) to colder colors (darker). In the 3D printing industry, Leuco […]
Before starting your next printing project, it is important to understand the differences between PETG vs PLA. Though they are similar in several ways, there are still significant differences between the two filaments. PETG and PLA are two thermoplastics that belong to the polyester group of plastics. Known for ease of printing, these two soften […]
PETG Data Sheet, Description & Applications Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol, known as PETG or PET-G, is a thermoplastic polyester that delivers significant durability, chemical resistance, and formability for manufacturing. PETG is an adaptation of PET (Polyethylene terephthalate), where the ‘G’ stands for Glycol. In addition, it is added at a molecular level to offer different chemical […]
