Switching from polycarbonate to P.E.T.G.
Switching from polycarbonate to P.E.T.G.
(OP)
When changing plastics in blow molding, polycarbonate to PETG, is it necessary to re-tool the mold? Any help on this would be appreciated. I have tried searching the forums, and do not know if I am using the correct search terms.
Thanks

I guess it depends how much of a size change you can tolerate. PETG had a greater mould shrinkage than PC.
A Google search will give you the data you need.
