Why To Choose Prusament
Prusament is a premium-grade material made by the same people who build the printers. Every spool is manufactured in-house with consistent color and ±0.02 mm precision. You can verify it yourself, down to the last meter.
PETG is the easiest technical material to print with
PETG is one of the most popular materials when it comes to rapid prototyping and printing cheap, yet functional mechanical components. This material offers fast and reliable printing with little warping and decent detail. Such parameters are valued among both beginners and professionals, as they make their work as easy as possible.
Durable material
PETG is durable in thick layers and bendable in thin layers. It slightly bends and deforms upon impact instead of breaking. Compared to PLA, PETG offers better impact resistance, layer-to-layer adhesion, and high-temperature resistance. Such parameters are useful for making functional components of working machines, such as parts of this e-bike.
Print in all sizes
The Prusament PETG has low shrinkage, which makes it possible to print large objects with little to no warping. This is especially useful for printing huge models glued from multiple parts. We use it for most of our extra-large projects, such as this life-sized Triceratops skull!
