Key Info

Material size

Material discs are sourced at a diameter of 428mm, the disc is clamped lowering the forming size to 400mm. Circular discs are used for optimal heating and pressure.

Material categories; Stick, non-stick, flex:

(Stick)

Not self lubricating; Difficult to mold without recommended design considerations.

Recommendation: 8 degree draft angles

(non-stick)

Very low coefficient of friction; is self-lubricating and easier to demould

5 degree draft angles

(flex)

0 degree draft angles, case specific undercuts are possible.

Material key properties

PETG

Exhibiting good hardness, chemical resistance, impact resistance, transparency and ductility make PETG a good candidate for food-grade tools or parts. (Stick)
