Polybutylene terephthalate

Term · Additive manufacturing and 3D printing · MLC-T-ADM-000285

A semi-crystalline thermoplastic polyester, abbreviated as PBT, known for its strength, stiffness, and resistance to chemicals and heat. In additive manufacturing, PBT is available as a filament for fused deposition modeling (FDM) or as a powder for selective laser sintering (SLS). It is often chosen for functional prototypes and end-use parts in automotive or electrical applications.
