In addition to the environmental benefit of being a 100% recycled material, ONE PET has been extensively tested for 3D printing applications â it is stiff and tough with exnt interlayer adhesion. Where regular PETg has a better impact resistance, ONE PET boasts superior technical properties such as tensile strength. The filament is also available in seven colours, in both 1.75mm and 2.85mm diameters.
Though 3D printing is often billed as a more eco-conscious manufacturing process than other mass production methods (because it builds additively rather than subtractively), it still relies on the consumption of plastics and generates its fair share of plastic waste. This new material, ONE PET, is made entirely from post-consumer PET plastic bottles and demonstrates a commitment to making the 3D printing business model as ecological as possible.
