1. The Integration of PEEK Material and 3D Printing

At present, when 3D printing (Additive Manufacturing, AM) is gradually moving towards the production of functional terminal parts, material properties have become the key to determining the feasibility of industrialization.
PEEK (polyetheretherketone) has become a new generation of polymer material that can replace metals due to its high heat resistance, high strength, and chemical corrosion resistance.

With the maturity of PEEK material 3D printing technology, manufacturers can rapidly achieve lightweight, complex structures and small-batch production without sacrificing performance.
El PEEK MS NT1 AM Filament launched by Solvay is precisely a high-performance flame-retardant PEEK material optimized for industrial-grade 3D printing.

2. Product Overview: Flame-retardant PEEK filament specifically optimized for 3D printing

MS NT1 AM Filament adopts a flame-retardant PEEK-FR resin system with a filamentous structure, specifically designed for fuse manufacturing (FDM) 3D printing.
This material, while maintaining the high heat resistance and high strength of traditional PEEK, has been deeply optimized for rheological properties, interlayer adhesion and thermal shrinkage.

Its launch has made the performance of 3D printed parts closer to that of injection-molded parts, meeting the strict requirements of the aviation, automotive, oil and energy industries.

3. Key Performance Data

Performance Analysis

  ・Excellent ductility: Elongation at break is 21%, with outstanding crack resistance.

  ・Structural stability: A modulus of 2000 MPa ensures the dimensional accuracy of parts.

  ・High temperature resistance: 220℃ glass transition temperature, suitable for extreme environments.

  ・Flame retardant and chemically resistant: Meets oil and gas as well as aviation standards.

MS NT1 AM Filament has established its benchmark position in the field of PEEK material 3D printing with outstanding data performance.

4. Print Compatibility and Process Advantages

PEEK material is renowned for its high melting point, but this also makes the threshold for its 3D printing extremely high. Solvay has achieved through customized design of molecular structure and rheological properties:

✅ Stable fluidity: smooth extrusion in the range of 360-400℃;

✅ Tight interlayer bonding: significant increase in Z-direction strength;

✅ Low warpage rate: controlled cooling shrinkage, suitable for large parts;

✅ Smooth surface: can meet industrial requirements without complex post-treatment.

These characteristics make PEEK material 3D printing no longer limited to research and development experiments, but become a realistic solution for mass production.

5. Typical Application Fields

With the transformation of manufacturing towards lightweighting and intelligence, PEEK material 3D printing has become an important driving force for high-end engineering applications.

6. Industry Trends: From Metal Substitution to Intelligent Manufacturing

Global manufacturing is accelerating its transformation towards lightweighting and sustainability.
In the aviation, automotive and energy industries, engineers are increasingly using PEEK material 3D printing to replace some aluminum alloy or stainless steel parts.

Compared with traditional metal processing, 3D printed PEEK has the following significant advantages:

This means that from design verification to functional testing to mass production, PEEK printed components can bring higher efficiency and lower risks to the manufacturing industry.

7. FAQ: Common Questions About PEEK Material 3D Printing

Q1: What are the differences between PEEK MS NT1 AM Filament and traditional PEEK filament?

A1: MS NT1 is specifically optimized for 3D printing, featuring stronger interlayer adhesion and printing stability. It can directly print large functional parts, while traditional PEEK filaments are mostly used for experimental or prototype printing.

Q2: Does printing PEEK require special equipment?

A2: Yes. PEEK printing requires an industrial-grade FDM printer with a high-temperature nozzle (≥400℃) and a heating chamber (≥120℃) to ensure the material is fully melted and interlayer bonded.

Q3: Which metal parts can PEEK material 3D printing replace?

A3: It can replace aluminum, stainless steel or titanium alloy components in high-temperature, corrosive or insulating requirements scenarios and is commonly found in hot zones of aviation, energy and automobiles.

Q4: Does Juyuan provide printing process parameters or technical guidance?

A4: Provided. Juyuan can provide customers with Solvay's official printing parameter references, spline testing support and application optimization suggestions, helping customers achieve complete implementation from raw materials to terminal components.
