“Growing Utilization of PEEK in 3D Printing Applications”
- A key trend in the polyetheretherketone (PEEK) market is the increasing adoption of PEEK filaments in industrial 3D printing, particularly in sectors such as aerospace, medical, and automotive due to PEEK’s exceptional thermal resistance, mechanical strength, and chemical stability
- PEEK’s compatibility with additive manufacturing allows the production of complex, high-performance components that are difficult to machine using traditional methods
- For instance, in October 2023, Evonik Industries AG launched VESTAKEEP iC4620 3DF, a carbon-fiber-reinforced PEEK filament for long-term medical implants, marking a major advancement in 3D-printed healthcare solutions
- This trend is expected to significantly drive innovation and customization in advanced manufacturing processes, boosting the global demand for high-quality PEEK materials
