Filament 3DGence PEEK AERO Natural

3DGence’s PEEK™ Aero is one of the best-performing thermoplastics available for additive manufacturing. A focal distinction of the polymer is complying with AS9100 Aerospace certification.

Certified filaments play a key role in industrial 3D printing, especially in these sectors where safety comes first. PEEK™ Aero belongs to the high-performance polymers group – the filaments that can handle the most demanding environment. It features top heat resistance (high temperatures applications up to 260°C), chemical resistance, and high tensile and excellent impact strength. Thanks to its low flammability (UL94 V-0), reduced weight and AS9100 Aerospace certification, the material is desired in aerospace, space, and defense industries.

AS9100 Aerospace standards (by the International Aerospace Quality Group) describe requirements for using Quality Management System (QMS) for contractors delivering solutions for aviation, space, and defense companies. Internationally recognized AS9100 standards are based on ISO 9001 (by the International Organization for Standardization), however, it is slightly modified according to the needs of the aerospace industry. To meet aerospace-specific requirements, contractors working with the aerospace industry need to follow QMS rules given in AS9100. In order to meet AS9100 expectations, each spool of 3DGence PEEK Aero is fully traceable to ensure product quality and compliance.

Key benefits of PEEK™ Aero

• certified according to AS9100,

• superb heat resistance: high temperatures applications up to 260°C,

• great chemical resistance and tensile strength.

Support materials compatible with PEEK™ Aero

PEEK™ Aero is compatible with 3DGence ESM-10 support material, offering a versatile solution for complex 3D printing applications. The compatibility with ESM-10 enables the use of soluble supports, which can be easily removed thus simplifying post-processing. Utilizing supports in 3D printing provides several advantages, including the ability to create intricate geometries, overhangs, and detailed internal structures that would be impossible to achieve with unsupported prints. This compatibility not only enhances the design freedom for engineers and designers but also improves the overall quality and precision of the final printed parts.

PEEK™ Aero industrial application in 3D printing

Due to its qualities and certifications, PEEK™ Aero can be used for aerospace, space, and defense end-parts applications. Some customers print out machine and device parts with PEEK™ Aero, while others find it useful for slipping and sliding applications. Having great heat resistance (up to 260°C) it is a suitable filament for printouts exposed to extreme temperatures.

PEEK™ Aero: good to know

3D printing with PEEK™ Aero provides exceptional, durable results, however, it requires a professional device in order to gain the best outcomes. Our INDUSTRY™ F421, offering high-speed printing and a large chamber volume, can reach you full possibilities of additive manufacturing with PEEK™ Aero. It is compatible with ESM-10 soluble support material.
