Brief description: PETG-CF is a composite form of PETG reinforced with carbon fiber. This combination increases the mechanical strength and stiffness of the material while improving dimensional stability. PETG-CF is ideal for robust, structural applications where additional strength and low elongation are required.
Suitable uses:
- Mechanically stressed parts
- Functional parts in automotive and aviation applications
- Components that require high strength and rigidity
- Parts that require good dimensional stability
Unsuitable uses:
- Applications that require a high degree of flexibility
- Objects that must be transparent
