A study of mechanical and optical properties of samples of transparent plastic Polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) manufactured by additive technology Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) was carried out. PETG plastic is used in medicine, particularly in dentistry due to its unique set of properties: strength, elasticity, resistance to aggressive environments, transparency. Preserving the complex of properties of PETG plastic, including transparency, during 3D-printing is an important technical task. In order to solve this task a set of studies of PETG laboratory samples was carried out. The optimum modes of 3D printing were determined to provide PETG samples with increased strength properties, preservation of elastic properties and optical transparency of the material. The increase in the optical transparency of the material is provided by an additional post-treatment of the printed samples surface with a chemical reagent. The influence of technological parameters of the post- treatment mode on the mechanical and optical properties of the printed samples has been investigated. The novelty of the work consists in a comprehensive study of the modes of manufacturing products from PETG by technology FFF with subsequent post-treatment, allowing to preserve the transparency of the polymeric material.
