Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a semicrystalline polyester commonly used in soda bottles and automotive parts when reinforced with a fiber-filler. This material is one of the easiest filaments in our portfolio to print and has an outstanding price-to-performance ratio. PET-CF has a good balance of stiffness and strength, and when annealed it has temperature resistance of over 155 ÌŠC, and good chemical resistance for common solvents.APPLICATIONSJigs, fixtures, tooling Functional prototypes Brackets Automotive parts Component housings View DetailsApplications Rapid PrototypingThe benefits of using additive manufacturing for prototyping were some of the first to be realized. During that age of Additive 1.0, manufacturers learned that they could skip the lengthy lead times and costly tool changes during initial iterations and accepted it despite its limitations. Additive 2.0 introduced rapid prototyping where manufacturers can use technology like the Essentium High Speed Extrusion (HSEâ„¢) 3D Printer to reduce the time to prototype to a few hours instead of days and instead of iterating with ABS or PA, they can design with the end-use material. Find Out More ToolingTraditional manufacturing methods are driven by CNC machines and injection molding machines, both of which require tools to be made, iterated, manufactured, and shipped. This entire process can take months, even with the best suppliers on the planet. With the Essentium High Speed Extrusion (HSEâ„¢) 3D Printing Platform, skip over the lead time and tooling costs, and create highly accurate molds, that can be tweaked on the fly. These 3D-printed tools can be printed in a matter of days at a fraction of the cost of traditional tooling and casting methods. Find Out More CastingAvoid the high cost and long lead times of traditional tool creation and print molds on the Essentium High Speed Extrusion (HSEâ„¢) 3D Printing Platform. Manufacturers can create prototypes, iterate designs, and print the final part on the same platform and materials which saves time and increases quality.
