BASF Ultrafuse rPET
Ultrafuse rPET (recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate) is made from recycled PET.
The recycled material is a food-approved grade and has a natural transparent blueish look.
We predict a bright future for this material: it is environmentally friendly, has excellent 3D printing properties and good mechanical characteristics.
Recycled Polyethylene terephthalate based filament for Fused Filament Fabrication.
PET is mainly known by the well-known PET bottle material. This recycled has a natural transparent blueish look.
It has excellent 3D printing properties and good mechanical characteristics.
