What your process engineer actually checks
Reliable big parts you can print easily
PET-G is amorphous, so it warps little and prints across a wide, forgiving window, with strong layer adhesion for tough, watertight walls and a clean glossy finish. Good chemical resistance and food-contact-capable grades widen its range. Every lot ships with drying and extrusion parameters so large display and enclosure parts come out reliably and reorders behave the same.

Caracol PET-G is a glycol-modified PET pellet feedstock qualified for Caracol large-format additive manufacturing (LFAM) extruders. It is the easy-printing, low-warp member of the pellet family — strong layer adhesion, good chemical resistance, a clean glossy finish, and food-contact-capable grades — which makes it a dependable choice for large display, signage, and enclosure parts. Every lot ships dry with recommended drying and extrusion parameters.
Why engineers choose Caracol PET-G
Four things production teams verify before running PET-G on a large-format system.
Low warp, easy to print
PET-G is amorphous and shrinks little, so large parts stay flat and print reliably with a wide, forgiving process window.
Strong layer adhesion
Excellent interlayer bonding gives big parts good toughness and watertight walls without the brittleness of some easy-print polymers.
Chemical & food-contact
Good chemical resistance, and food-contact-capable grades on request, suit retail, hygiene, and wet-environment parts.
Clean glossy finish
A naturally glossy, translucent surface makes PET-G a fit for display and signage parts that need to look finished.
How Additive Plus delivers it
Every order ships production-ready — qualified feedstock, parameters, and a datasheet.
Source & qualify
Glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate (PET-G) sourced and qualified against Caracol's extrusion testing so the pellet runs on LFAM systems without a re-development cycle.
Dry & screen
PET-G absorbs moisture and prints best dry. We ship it dry and specify a 60–65 °C re-dry to keep layer clarity and adhesion on big parts.
Verify & document
Each lot ships with a datasheet and recommended drying and extrusion parameters, so you reorder the same behavior — not a new qualification.
Material overview
PET-G (glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate) is an amorphous copolyester that prints easily, warps little, and bonds strongly between layers, while offering good chemical resistance and a glossy surface. On a large-format extruder it is the forgiving workhorse for big display, signage, retail, and enclosure parts, and food-contact-capable grades extend it to hygienic applications. It trades the high heat resistance of PC for far easier, more reliable big-part printing.
