Material
Multicolor PETG
Multicolor FDM prints using PETG combine vivid color separation with the material's toughness, flexibility, and chemical resistance. It is ideal for functional enclosures and durable prototypes that need both visual impact and everyday resilience.

About
Multicolor FDM PETG prints combine vivid color separation with PETG's core strengths in toughness, layer adhesion, and chemical resistance.
Multi-extrusion or filament-switching techniques enable sharp color boundaries or smooth transitions, adding visual definition to functional geometries.
PETG bridges the gap between PLA and ABS, offering better impact resistance than PLA and easier, lower-warp printing than ABS, making multicolor parts both reliable to produce and durable in use. This process is ideal for enclosures, mechanical fixtures, retail displays, and functional prototypes that benefit from clear color-coded design alongside everyday durability.
