Essentium PCTG Additive Manufacturing Filament
Categories:	Polymer; 3D Printing/Additive Manufacturing Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyester, TP; Polycyclohexylenedimethylene Terephthalate (PCT); Glycol-Modified PCT (PCTG) Copolyester
Material Notes:	Essentium Copolyester PCTG is a member of the copolyester family, chemically similar to PETG. Easy to use material with incredible surface finish and excellent impact resistance. Can be printed in open air and over a large temperature range. High temperatures produce glossy finish, low produce matte. Definitions of axes used in property data table: XY is the print direction. ZX is the build direction. YX is the third orthogonal axis. Information provided by Essentium Materials, LLC.
