Print for food

Hi everyone!

A client send me a request of a product in teflon, he want a product to get in touch with food, I want to know what kind of material you have used for this application, the product it’s a final and functional piece of a production chain so it has to have the best quality and resistance.

Please let me know some materials.

Thanks!

I am not exactly sure if this would work in his application, but you could try Raptor PLA from Maker Geeks, it is food safe and extremely strong

Hope this helps!

When I first saw this title, I was thinking “Will 3D print for food”!? lol

PETG is the same material used in water bottles. Try and use natural (no colorant) so there is no question of what is in the colrant.

Probably need to do some research. What a filament manufacturer calls food safe is different from a finished printed product. Technically any FDM printed part is not really food safe.

As far as filament -

PETG natural will be close. Anything with color is not.
