PETG Metallic 3D Printing Filament
3D META’s PETG Metallic 3D printing filament combines the functional benefits of PETG with a stunning metallic finish, making it ideal for prints that need both performance and visual appeal. Engineered with added metallic pigments, this filament offers a unique shimmering surface while retaining the strength, chemical resistance, and reliability of standard PETG materials.
Key Features of PETG Metallic Printing Filament:
Metallic Finish with Superior Aesthetics:
Formulated with metallic flakes, PETG Metallic delivers a lustrous, professional finish that elevates the appearance of any printed object—perfect for artistic pieces, display models, and high-end prototypes.
Strong and Impact-Resistant:
PETG Metallic retains the core toughness of PETG, offering excellent strength and impact resistance. It’s suitable for functional parts that need durability with added style.
Excellent Layer Adhesion and Dimensional Stability:
With strong interlayer bonding and minimal warping, PETG Metallic ensures stable prints with smooth, even surfaces—ideal for both mechanical use and decorative projects.
Chemical Resistance:
Like other PETG-based filaments, PETG Metallic holds up well in chemically exposed environments, including contact with oils, mild acids, and industrial solvents.
User-Friendly Printing:
Compatible with most FDM/FFF 3D printers, PETG Metallic prints easily with low stringing and consistent flow. It does not require an enclosure or specialized setup, making it accessible for both professionals and enthusiasts.
Applications for PETG Metallic Printing Filament:
PETG Metallic is perfect for applications that demand both aesthetics and durability. Common uses include:
-
Artistic and display models
-
Cosplay props and accessories
-
Functional prototypes and enclosures
-
Automotive and mechanical parts where appearance matters
-
Custom décor and household items
The unique metallic sheen adds a premium touch to any part, making it ideal for products meant to be both seen and used.
Storage and Drying for PETG Metallic Filament:
To preserve the performance and visual quality of PETG Metallic filament:
-
Store in a dry, airtight container with desiccants
-
Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture
-
For best results, dry at 70°C for 5 hours before use
Moisture can cause bubbling or dull finishes during printing, so keeping the filament dry is essential for a flawless surface.

FAQ's
Q: Is PETG Metallic harder to print than standard PETG?
A: Not at all. PETG Metallic retains the easy printability of regular PETG. However, due to the presence of metallic flakes, it's important to use a nozzle size of at least 0.4mm to avoid clogging and ensure smooth extrusion.
Q: Can I use PETG Metallic for functional parts, or is it just for display?
A: Absolutely. PETG Metallic is ideal for functional parts that need to look great and perform under stress. It’s perfect for brackets, enclosures, and custom tools where aesthetics matter as much as strength.
Q: Will the metallic particles affect layer adhesion or strength?
A: No. Our PETG Metallic is formulated to maintain excellent layer adhesion and mechanical strength. The metallic pigments are finely milled to ensure a consistent blend that doesn’t compromise the filament’s durability.
