Evonik is focusing on sustainability in 3D printing. The specialty chemicals company wants to align its INFINAM polyamide 12 (PA12) powders along improved overall eco-balances. In doing so, the group analyzes not only CO2 emissions but also other important sustainability factors of its own footprint, such as water consumption or land use. The current materials […]
Evonik launches osteoconductive VESTAKEEP Fusion PEEK filament for 3D printed implants
Evonik is further expanding its portfolio of 3D-printable biomaterials for medical technology: The specialty chemicals company has developed VESTAKEEP iC4800 3DF, a new osteoconductive PEEK filament that improves fusion between bone and implants. The high-performance polymer can be processed in common extrusion-based 3D printing technologies such as fused filament fabrication (FFF). Evonik will present the […]
Evonik announces new photopolymers for industrial 3D printing
Evonik is continuing its material campaign in 3D printing. With INFINAM RG 3101 L and INFINAM FL 6300 L, the specialty chemicals company has developed two new photopolymers for industrial 3D printing. They expand the product line of synthetic resins launched just this year that are suitable for use in common photopolymer 3D printing processes […]
Evonik launches implant-grade PEEK filament for medical applications in 3D printing
Evonik launched a 3D-printable PEEK (polyether ether ketone) filament as an implant-grade material for medical applications. This material lets designers develop custom-made plastic implants through additive manufacturing processes that meet the requirements of ASTM F2026 (the standard specification for PEEK polymers for surgical implant applications). Sold under the brand name VESTAKEEP i4 3DF, this PEEK […]
Evonik launches new polymer powder for 3D printing applications in high temperature range
Evonik, a specialty chemicals company, has developed a new polymer powder for applications in higher temperature range as part of its polyamide 6 series. The new polyamide powder offers high mechanical strength as well as chemical and temperature resistance. Its heat deflection temperature (HDT B) is around 195°C. Plus, the powder material has low water […]
