The first of the PCTG-based composites we developed was a carbon fibre version - PCTG CF10. The carbon fibres used give the filament an extremely high stiffness, while reducing the brittle fracture typical for other PETG-based carbon composites. PCTG CF10 filament allows the printing of parts with increased hardness and tensile strength compared to classic PCTG. The use of carbon fibres increases the thermal resistance of the filament, further reduces shrinkage and gives the characteristic carbon matt appearance to the printed models.
FeaturesSpecsSupport
PCTG is a copolyester that is gaining increasing popularity among users of 3D printing technology. In terms of properties, it is often compared to PETG, which is well known to every printer (in the sense of a maker, creator, person using a 3D printer). However, it t is worth noting that PCTG has a significantly higher impact strength compared to its big brother. PCTGs high elasticity combined with high layer cohesiveness, high viscosity and negligible shrinkage make it a perfect polymer for composite materials.
With Spectrum PCTG CF filament, 3D printing is becoming an even more viable alternative to conventional plastic processing, enabling the production of durable and long-lasting everyday objects, regardless of size.

Spectrum Premium PCTG filament is an excellent alternative to PET-G, which is well-known in the 3D printing world. Belonging to the same material family of co-polyesters, PCTG filament offers similar ease of printing as PET-G.
The potential of high-impact PCTG inspired Spectrum to develop another composite based on this copolyester – Spectrum PCTG GF10. The use of glass fibre filling has resulted in a high-strength filament with an intriguingly matt surface.
