The new material has been intensively tested and will ensure that our customers get the desired result and quality.” - Artem Naumov, Anisoprint Head of Materials.

March 2022 : Anisoprint, a continuous fibre 3D printing systems and software OEM, is introducing Clear PETG and CFC PETG, a second pair of filaments for desktop Anisoprinting. Developed for use with Composer A4 and A3, PETG is one of the most universal and effective materials for composite fibre co-extrusion (CFC). The material is paired with a proprietary profile in Aura slicer library, which guarantees high standard quality and exactly predictable properties.

As a part of the plan to continuously update Aura’s library with new materials and profiles, starting from March 15th, Anisoprint offers its clients new plastics and a specially-developed profile to guarantee the highest quality.

“A lot of our customers use different PETG variations with our dedicated profiles, with sometimes unpredictable results in terms of mechanical characteristics and quality.” – Artem Naumov, Anisoprint Head of Materials: “We decided to launch our own plastic with characteristics perfectly suitable for the profiles. The new material has been intensively tested and will ensure that our customers get the desired result and quality.”

As with any innovative manufacturing technology, in plastic 3D printing, diversity of materials comes before standardization: with no set boundaries, resulting products oftentimes have unpredictable and unstable quality. Anisoprint strives to provide its users with solutions that produce stable and reliable quality results, so the combination of the new formulation material and fine-tuned parameters is specifically designed to achieve that goal.

Benefits & advantages of the New Material

Good flowing properties for easier printing, ideal for co-extrusion.
Great allrounder for starters, easy to handle.
Allows printing in very thin layers with good surface quality and geometric accuracy.
Has a naturally good adhesion to reinforcing fibres.
Features high mechanical properties (Clear PETG & CFC PETG): wide working temperature range (-40 °C to +70 °C), good durability, and resistance to fats and mineral acids, etc.
Low absorption rate, no need to use the drybox if the humidity of the storage facility is low enough.
Fully odourless during printing
Transparent with clearly visible internal structure.
