Raise3D Industrial PET GF - glass fiber reinforced composite filament

Raise 3D Industrial PET GF is a glass fiber reinforced compound and filament solution based on polyethylene terephthalate . This filament offers unique properties that make it an ideal choice for printing glass fiber compounds and materials . The well - dispersed glass fibers increase the stiffness , strength , heat and chemical resistance of the PET matrix . ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Equipped with a tensile modulus and a strength of over 4.1 GPb or 70 MPa , PET GF achieves a heat resistance of about 120 ℃ after tempering . ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ In addition , PET GF is characterized by high compressive strength , dimensional stability , creep strength and low moisture absorption , making it the ideal choice for strong and cost - effective end applications such as devices and functional parts . ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Printing notes:

1. Dry PET GF at 70-80 °C for 8-12 hours before printing, as low moisture content is crucial for the quality of the printed part
2. After drying, we recommend storing PET GF filaments in the Raise3D Filament Dry Box during the printing process.
3. When printing PET GF, brass nozzle abrasion is common. Using an abrasion-resistant nozzle, such as a hardened steel or ruby ​​nozzle, is highly recommended.
4. After printing, it is recommended to cure the printed model in an oven at 80-100°C for 8-12 hours.
5. For a small model (side length < 50 mm), annealing at 80℃ for 8 hours is recommended; for a medium-sized model (50 mm < side length < 150 mm), annealing at 80℃ for 12 hours is recommended; for a large model, annealing at 100°C for at least 12 hours is recommended.
6. After annealing, a dimensional shrinkage of no more than 0.1% can be observed in the Z-axis, depending on the filling and layer height, and no significant dimensional shrinkage can be observed in the XY-axis.
7. If PET GF is also used as a carrier material, please remove the carrier structure after annealing.
