About this material

PEEK: The gold standard for your most critical parts.

Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK) is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic from the PAEK family. It retains mechanical strength and chemical resistance when exposed to high operating temperatures. Engineers specify PEEK for critical parts in aerospace, automotive, oil and gas, and medical applications.

This filament relies on raw PEEK resin. Our print profiles process the polymer in its amorphous phase to reduce thermal shrinkage and improve stress distribution. This phase stability allows you to print large, complex geometries with tight dimensional accuracy. Post-print annealing transitions the material into its semi-crystalline phase for full thermal and mechanical performance.

The filament meets European regulations EC No. 1935/2004, EC No. 2023/2006, and EC No. 10/2011 for food contact, as well as FDA regulations. We ship every unit vacuum-sealed on a polycarbonate spool to keep the material completely dry.

Printer settings & data sheets

Tuned for precision in high-temperature systems.

PEEK is a demanding material and your printer has to be up to it: a hotend that reaches 420 °C, a bed at 120 °C, and a heated build chamber with real thermal control. Too little control over the temperature leads to incomplete crystallisation, black specks in the part, or browning. Do not leave PEEK sitting in a hot nozzle when it is not extruding: it degrades into black specks and blocks the nozzle.

Print it amorphous. That phase shrinks less and distributes stress better, which is what lets you print large geometries to size. Our amorphous print profile lists every setting we use, down to flow and fan speeds. Anneal the part afterwards to take it into its semi-crystalline phase for full thermal and mechanical performance.

Before you print.

Dry the filament for two to four hours at 120 °C. Keep the printer in a draft-free room with a stable temperature and out of direct sunlight. Local exhaust ventilation at the printer or the workplace is required, and this is not a machine to run in a living or sleeping room.

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 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 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 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.
