Polyetherketone
Term · Additive manufacturing and 3D printing · MLC-T-ADM-000290
A high-performance thermoplastic polymer within the polyaryletherketone family, offering excellent mechanical properties, thermal stability, and chemical resistance. PEK is processed in additive manufacturing using high-temperature material extrusion or powder bed fusion. It is often chosen for applications requiring high strength-to-weight ratios and resistance to harsh environments.
