Other materials, such as graphene and glass-filled polypropylene are also in the works.

At RAPID, 3D Printlife will also be offering free PEEK samples to attendees.ģD Printlife also aims to expand its engineering filament line later this year with the release of Ultem 1010. The company says it will offer custom weights of the material starting at 100 g for introductory testing. The PEEK filament will become available to buy on via 3D Printlife’s online store. The production process is also closely supervised by 3D Printlife experts so that the resulting filament boasts a dimensional accuracy superior to +/- 0.03 mm. 3D Printlife’s filament is manufactured in a clean room at its medical-grade extrusion facility outside of Boston, MA. It is 100 biodegradable like PLA, but is comparable to ABS in terms of its impact strength with greater pliability and elongation at break. PEEK is becoming increasingly sought after in the additive manufacturing industry for its excellent mechanical properties as well as chemical and temperature resistance. PLAyPHAb (play fab) 3d printer filament is a unique high strength PLA/PHA blend that is much less brittle than standard PLA, and does not require a heated bed or enclosure.
The material release brings the U.S.-based filament manufacturer into the growing PEEK filament industry. The second filament to be released next week at the RAPID + TCT show in Detroit by 3D Printlife is Polyether ether ketone, better known as PEEK. In addition to the medical sector, the filament could have applications in the industrial, commercial and aerospace sectors.
Lastly, parts printed from the new FibreTuff PAPC Bone Replacement filament can be laser cut or machined post-printing without the annealing process.
