About this material

R PEEK: recycled PEEK, without giving up the properties.

R PEEK is a recycled polyether ether ketone filament, made from PEEK regranulated scrap left over from the semi-finished process and reprocessed with high-purity recycling procedures. The regranulate shows no noticeable change in colour or viscosity.

Recycling works here because of the chemistry. The PEEK molecule is highly stable and can be re-melted and reprocessed several times without losing its properties, which is precisely why the scrap is worth recovering instead of discarding. The result is a material that offers significant cost savings without compromising on what PEEK does.

It is aimed at the same work as virgin PEEK: aerospace, automotive, electrical and electronics, and general engineering. It is both an environmentally and an economically sustainable option, and those two rarely point the same way.

It is one of the most demanding materials we sell to print, and it needs a machine to match.

A heated chamber, and no shortcuts on drying.

This filament needs a genuinely industrial machine: a nozzle at 400 to 450 °C, a bed between 120 and 160 °C, and a heated chamber above 90 °C. Use Magigoo HT on a carbon-fibre plate, glass or a PEI sheet.

Dry it first.

Drying is mandatory: six to eight hours at 120 °C. A damp high-temperature polymer prints badly and bonds worse, and at this price that is an expensive way to find out.

Measurements & tolerance

Precision-engineered consistency.

Consistent prints start with a uniform filament shape. We continuously monitor diameter and roundness during production. When filament varies in size or loses its round profile, material flow becomes erratic. This causes under-extrusion and weak layer bonds.

Our manufacturing process keeps the cross-section stable across the full spool. Your printer receives a steady volume of material without pressure drops in the nozzle. You get predictable extrusion on every job, so with R PEEK you can focus on your design, not your material.

The production process

Sealed at the source. Never touched by water.*

Unlike manufacturers who cool filament in a water bath, our filament never touches water during production. Moisture inside the material creates bubbles and weakens layer bonding during printing. Water-free production keeps extrusion consistent and bubble-free.

Sealed and ready to print.
We produce on demand. Every spool is vacuum-sealed immediately after extrusion, so it reaches you dry. This process keeps every spool of R PEEK ready to print out of the box.

* At times of high demand, and for some variants, production may run on a conventional water-cooled line. Contact us before ordering if you require material produced with our water-free process.

Vacuum-sealed filament spool, straight off the extrusion line

Vacuum-sealed on the production line, before it ever leaves the machine.

Traceability & quality assurance

Precision you can track. From pellet to part.

We produce every spool on demand in our own facility. This gives us direct oversight that mass-produced stock lacks. Your spool comes from a fresh, identifiable batch rather than long-term warehouse inventory. We document the production trail for every run.

Documented, not just shipped.
We keep the production logs for every batch we make. On request, we link a Certificate of Analysis and Technical Data Sheet to your specific batch. You get clear data for your spool of R PEEK.

About 3D4M

Dutch engineering for parts that define the future.

At 3D4M, we develop and manufacture high-performance thermoplastic filaments for demanding applications across aerospace, defence, semiconductor, automotive, medical research, and industrial manufacturing. We work with engineers, researchers, and manufacturers who need materials that go beyond standard specifications.

Our engineering starts with the machines themselves. We design and build our own extrusion lines around our patented extrusion process, combining material expertise with technology developed in-house. For moisture-sensitive polymers, our air-cooling technology offers a water-free cooling option, allowing us to tailor the production process to the material.

Our production facility is built on a single, uncompromising principle: control. From our extrusion technology to precise diameter monitoring and vacuum-sealed packaging, we control every stage to deliver consistent filament with batch traceability.

Trusted by global leaders
Supporting over 100 universities alongside global industry leaders, we have become a trusted partner to advanced research labs and manufacturers worldwide. We bring together material expertise and Dutch engineering to help turn ambitious ideas into reliable, high-performance parts.
