This copolymer delivers upgraded freedom of design, lower costs of production, and reduced time to market, being one of the strongest filaments for FFF 3D printing. Victrex AM™200 shows a great level of thermal and chemical resistance, too.

The presented filament was created by Victrex, a well-known, British company operating in the polymers market. AM™200 FIL belongs to semi-crystalline PAEK family and it represents high-performance materials. As the manufacturer explains, PAEK (PolyArylEtherKetones) family is a group of polymers that consists of building blocks of aryl, ether, and ketone (-AEK). Thanks to the redesigned molecular structure, AM™200 FIL can print more stable and stronger parts than PEEK.

This advanced material was designed for FFF 3D printing and additive manufacturing processing. This copolymer offers durable and qualitative printouts and makes the 3D printing process relatively easy. It is suitable for higher-temperature applications and shows a good level of resistance to chemicals. The material gives the user great design freedom, enabling the printing of durable end parts with complex geometry. Wear, corrosion, and fatigue resistances can be given as other reasons why this material is preferable in diverse industrial applications. AM™200 FIL possesses better ductility than PEEK. Moreover, it has a similar extrusion temperature to PEEK and, due to slower crystallization speed, it allows higher chamber temperature during printing which can improve lamination and mechanical performance after the process.

Key benefits of Victrex AM™200 FIL

• flexibility of design: this material is suitable for printing complex geometry objects;

• better layers’ adhesion: stronger and more stable printouts;

• superior mechanical strength;

• good level of resistance to chemicals, corrosion, extreme heat, and wearing;

• low outgassing, less warpage or internal stresses, and suitable for sterilization;

• easier printing and upgraded printability compared to PEEK.

Industrial applications of Victrex AM™200 filament

The copolymer is the right choice for production parts and tooling. It works well when you seek design freedom and mechanical strength at the same time. Many of our clients use it for low-volume production, customized end parts, advanced jigs & fixtures needed during the manufacturing process, or heavy-duty parts. Due to its unique properties, Victrex AM™200 seems to be a perfect fit for a range of demanding applications, such as aerospace, automotive, electronics, customer products, and the energy sector. On the other hand, it cannot be used for creating medical implants.
