Why has Ultimaker introduced a PETG material?<\/h2>\n

\nUltimaker is always analyzing and striving to understand the landscape of the 3D printing industry, and we noticed a great deal of traction for PETG materials. In the latest Ultimaker 3D Printing Sentiment Index, for example, we saw that PETG is one of the most used and requested 3D printing plastics.\n

With this in mind, we began testing various third-party PETG materials that our customers were using. We were not always satisfied with the results, finding that many PETG filaments did not print well \u2013 with final results stringing, warping, or being incompatible with PVA and Breakaway support materials \u2013 or reliably enough to suit the demands of our customers.<\/p>\n

Ultimaker PETG, however, brings the best printing experience to Ultimaker users, seamlessly integrating with our platform to ensure optimal print results \u2013 helping you increase your chances of achieving first-time right results and making it happen.<\/p><\/section>\n
