I am looking for a material that laser cuts well, is .060" (1.5 mm), and has the bend ability of petg. Can anyone here help me out?

Nope - can't think of anything. Have you tried PETG itself?
If you do, make damn sure you've got good fume extraction, all the PET derivatives produce some fairly nasty breakdown products - including the release of antimony...

I have not tried it, I researched laser cutting it. It would seem that petg behaves like butter when laser cut, just melts and cuts are ugly.
