Solvay’s Advanced PEEK Filaments Enable High-performance 3D Printed Parts Simulation

Solvay further established itself as one of the emerging leaders in specialty polymers for additive manufacturing (AM) with the news that high-performance KetaSpire® PEEK AM filament will be the first polyetheretherketone polymer included in e-Xstream engineering’s Digimat® simulation software due for launch in June 2018. 

Specialty Polymers for Simulation 3D Printing Platform:

Christophe Schramm, business manager for additive manufacturing at Solvay’s Specialty Polymers global business unit, said:




“KetaSpire® PEEK’s inclusion in Digimat® represents Solvay’s latest step toward becoming the industry’s leading resource for successfully applying advanced polymers in 3D printing processes. Solvay is building on its long-standing partnership with e-Xstream engineering to quickly expand the number of specialty polymers available for simulation on the Digimat® platform, and ultimately enable our customers to ‘print it right the first time’ when using Solvay’s high-performing thermoplastics.”
Digimat® for 3D Printed Parts:

Part of the latest edition of Digimat® 2018.1, Digimat® for Additive Manufacturing will enable designers and engineers to accurately predict warpage and residual stresses of 3D printed KetaSpire® PEEK parts as a function of additive manufacturing processes, such as fused filament fabrication (FFF). With Digimat® for Additive Manufacturing, users can further optimize their process and minimize part deformation before 3D printing their parts. Digimat® 2018.1 is due for global release this June, but Solvay customers can contact Solvay today to benefit from the new dataset describing KetaSpire® PEEK’s material laws.

KetaSpire® PEEK AM Filament:

Widely regarded as one of the highest-performing thermoplastic polymers, KetaSpire® PEEK AM filament offers superior mechanical strength and chemical resistance for 3D-printed parts.
