Pro PETG or Pro PCTG: Which Should I Use?

Pro PETG and Pro PCTG are both copolyesters, and they print in similar ways. Here's how to choose.

Choose Pro PETG when

• You want an economical, all-purpose material that's tougher and more heat resistant than PLA.
• Your parts don't need the extra heat, impact, or chemical resistance of Pro PCTG.

Choose Pro PCTG when

• The part needs more heat resistance. Pro PCTG handles about 5–15°C more heat than PETG, depending on which PETG you compare it to.
• The part needs higher impact toughness or chemical resistance.
• You want more colors. Pro PCTG has our widest color range.
