Victrex, a global leader in high-performance polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and polyaryletherketone (PAEK) solutions, recently launched VICTREX AM™ 200 filament optimized for additive manufacturing.
The new product was developed and optimized especially for additive manufacturing

Designed for poor bonding between PEEK printing layers

The new PAEK-based VICTREX AM 200 filament is specially designed and optimized for additive manufacturing, where the excellent mechanical properties of PAEK materials are required for high-performance components

The first 3D printing equipment supplier to provide Victrex's new PAEK material is China's Yuanzhu Intelligent INTAMSYS

The test of this new material on Yuanzhu intelligent INTAMSYS 3D printing equipment shows that it has higher Z-axis strength, which can reach 80% of its XY strength direction, and has better hot fuse forming (FFF) than existing PAEK materials.
) print adaptability

Yuanzhu Intelligent INTAMSYS conducted physical and mechanical performance tests on Victrex's new high-performance materials.
The material tests were carried out in different 3D printing equipment, including the intelligent multi-material industrial-grade 3D printing equipment FUNMAT PRO 410, which is a An industrial-grade intelligent dual-nozzle high-temperature 3D printing equipment, the printing size can reach 305*305*406mm, it can process a variety of complex structures, and supports printing a variety of materials such as PEEK, PEEK-CF, PEKK, PC, PC-ABS and other high-performance material

Mr.
Han Chengchao, founder and CEO of Yuanzhu Smart INTAMSYS, emphasized: "Our test results on the INTAMSYS printer confirmed that VICTREX AM 200 filament has better interlayer adhesion compared to other PEAK-based materials

Yuanzhu Smart INTAMSYS is also the first member of Victrex's global filament printing network to support this new material
.
The network aims to promote the use of innovative high-performance materials for additive manufacturing of VICTREX AM based on PAEK polymers and includes further material solutions developed specifically for additive manufacturing technology
.
These materials are designed and developed for additive manufacturing technology to meet the need for additively manufactured parts that are resistant to high temperatures and have excellent mechanical properties
.

The new PAEK AM material newly developed by Victrex also has very high wear resistance, high temperature resistance, fatigue resistance and corrosive fluid/chemical resistance, which can meet a variety of demanding applications and help Increase design freedom and improve production cost-effectiveness
