3D Printed PEEK for High Temperature Applications Polyetheretherketon (PEEK) is considered as one of the most powerful high-performance polymers due to its mechanical, thermal and chemical resistance. Therefore, it is used as a replacement for materials such as steel,...
Apium Filament Dryer reduces moisture-related 3D printing defects and noticeably increases printing success rate Most filaments produced for the Material Extrusion 3D Printing Technology (FFF) are polymer-based materials. Other than polyolefins, almost every other...
Digitalization in Manufacturing: High Performance 3D Printed Tools and Spare Parts The global smart manufacturing market size was valued at USD 172,34 billion in 2016 and is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period of 2018-2025*. With the advent...
Chemical Resistance of FFF 3D Printed PEEK Parts A wide variety of engineering fields use PEEK due to its excellent thermal, mechanical and chemical properties. The different grades of PEEK exhibit non-identical properties. Additionally, actual part properties may...
3 Additive Manufacturing applications to benefit from high performance polymers The introduction of both neat and reinforced high performance thermoplastics to the additive manufacturing (AM) materials portfolio has made it possible for industries having higher...
Excursion into PEEK’s crystallization behavior Some classes of polymeric materials exhibit semi-crystalline attributes at the molecular and microstructural levels. In such cases there is a co-existence of the crystalline phase and the amorphous phase in the material....
