Pro Tip:

During laser cutting, use higher frequency and lower speed for cleaner edges. Engraving thin PETG is not recommended due to heat‑related warping. For raster engraving: remove the film mask (may leave white heat marks—clean with mild soap and water). For vector engraving or scoring: keep the protective mask on to reduce surface heat marks.

FAQs:

• Does PETG crack easily? No. PETG has high impact strength and is more impact‑resistant than acrylic. It’s a great choice for parts that need durability or flexibility.

• Is PETG UV‑resistant? PETG has limited UV resistance and is recommended for indoor use. Extended outdoor exposure may cause yellowing or brittleness.

• Is PETG good for thermoforming? Yes. PETG is one of the easiest plastics to thermoform thanks to its low forming temperature (250–300°F) and excellent clarity. It forms cleanly without excessive bubbling or stress whitening.
