About Project
Here is a PEEK mechanical part sample we made with FDM 3D printing technology. It is considered one of the world鈥檚 highest-performing functional materials. It has excellent biocompatibility, chemical resistance, mechanical properties, and thermal properties.
Solution
- Step 1: To ensure the overhang structures could be successfully printed, we need to adjust the placement and add enough supports.
- Step 2: Here we print the part with FDM 3D printing technology using FDM PEEK.
- Step 3: Take the print from the plane. Adding a raft or skirt would make this process easier.
- Step 4: Polish the print manually with a grater and sandpaper to remove the remaining marks.
