Apium PEEK 450 Natural / Black / Blue
PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic ideal for applications with thermal, chemical and mechanical exceptional conditions. It allows users to reduce overall weight, extend service life and increase design freedom through Material Extrusion.
Apium PEEK 4000
Apium PEEK 4000 is characterized by improved layer adhesion and the resulting improved mechanical properties. The filament is not a mixture, but a pure PEEK, as is known from semi-finished products and granules, but it provides better processing results.
Apium PEEK CFR
The combination of PEEK and 30% carbon fibers provides high stiffness as well as improved thermal and mechanical properties with Apium PEEK CFR. Improved thermal conductivity properties allow end users to use this material especially in systems where thermal management plays a critical role, such as heat dissipation in microprocessors and other electronic systems.
Apium PEEK CFR 4000
As one of the few suppliers for reinforced materials with 30% carbon fiber content, we are now able to offer the improved version of Apium PEEK CFR 4000. Building on the advantages of our Apium PEEK CFR, it offers improved layer adhesion and mechanical properties.
Apium PEEK GFR
PEEK GFR (Glass Fiber Reinforced) is a compound that combines the excellent chemical and thermal properties of PEEK with the high hardness of glass. This combination provides components with high dimensional accuracy and natural PEEK colored aesthetics.
Apium PEI 9085 (ULTEM) Natural
PEI 9085 (Polyeterimide) is an unfilled engineering plastic with high strength and broad chemical resistance. It shows similar properties as polyetheretherketone, but is relatively cheaper with lower impact strength and lower thermal resistance. This material is particularly attractive for applications in the aircraft industry due to its excellent flame retardancy.
Apium PVDF
PVDF (Polyvinylidene fluoride) is a medium viscosity homopolymer. Similar to other high-performance polymers, it offers stability in the form of thermal, chemical or ultraviolet conditions. This material is thermally resistant/structural stable up to 149°C and is almost universally resistant to chemicals and solvents, showing no signs of effect when exposed to prolonged ultraviolet radiation.
Apium PEKK Amorph
Apium PEKK Amorph is semi-crystalline by nature, but is designed to remain amorphous if desired. It shows great layer adhesion and we can even print semi-crystalline thanks to our Temperature Management System. This means you can choose between amorphous toughness and crystalline toughness.
Apium PP
Polypropylene is a low melting point thermoplastic with high chemical resistance. It is non-reactive, hard and translucent for low wall thicknesses. It is a popular material mainly used for transporting food, household appliances and fittings.
Apium ABS ESD
Electrostatic Discharge is an important feature if you are in an environment where you must not cause any damage to electronic components. Apium ABS ESD comes in black and the printing behavior is very good: you have tight dimensional tolerances and can create fixtures for your electronics assembly.
Apium Smart ABS
Apium Smart ABS is an inexpensive and dimensionally stable polymer perfectly suited for the manufacture of caps, enclosures and components that are not subjected to either high chemical or high mechanical stress.
Vestakeep i4 3DF
For medical devices and implants intended for permanent use in the human body (class III), Vestakeep i4 3DF is the appropriate material. Successful compliance according to ISO 10993 for biocompatibility testing has been proven and Cytotoxicity is continuously checked for each batch. With this, we want to guarantee maximum traceability and therefore the highest security for your additive-produced medical devices.
Vestakeep i4 3DF-T
Additive manufacturing is a manufacturing method currently leading to standardization. We offer the Vestakeep i4 3DF-T as a cheaper option to produce the first printed products to use the precious Vestakeep i4 3DF, which has passed extensive testing, only for the manufacture of medical devices. These products can be tested mechanically and chemically to obtain information on the properties of the intended medicinal products. Chemically the materials are the same, but different according to your price advantage.
