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:
-
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.
