Achieve better outcomes with implants made from PEEK (Polyetheretherketone)

Improve the biocompatibility of medical devices with implantable PEEK. The lightweight material possesses properties close to the human bone and shows a high temperature resistance. 3D printing in PEEK is much faster than using traditional milling processes and also more compatible with diagnostic imaging. Talk to 3D Systems product development experts to help you select the right PEEK material for your application. We offer four options:

  • Implant-grade PEEK   
  • Medical-grade PEEK 
  • Carbon-fiber-reinforced PEEK (CFR-PEEK) 
  • PEEK with biphasic calcium phosphate (VESTAKEEP® Fusion)  
PEEK cranial implants

Patient-specific cranial implant 3D printed using PEEK. The durability and strength of the material and the implant’s contoured fit make it an excellent choice for reconstruction.

  • Applications

    • Spinal implants
    • Craniomaxillofacial implants
    • Thoracic implants

  • Benefits

    • Cost-effective to produce with less waste than milling
    • Quick to manufacture
    • Light weight and eliminates temperature sensitivity for improved patient comfort

  • Features

    • Capable of biocompatibility and sterility
    • Durable, bone-like mechanical properties
    • Resistant to thermal and ionizing radiation

EXT 220 MED enables patient-specific implants at the point-of-care
