Description
Ceramic-filled PEKK and PEEK compounds have a long history in the plastics industry – especially in the semiconductor industry where these materials have been used to machine integrated circuit (IC) test sockets and fixtures. CeramiX™ PEKK contains 15% (wt %) of high purity Alumina (Al203) which creates a hard surface ideal for repeated uses in electronics assembly and fabrication facilities. Please Note: This material was NOT formulated for applications that would create printed ‘green’ parts that would later be de-bound and sintered, leaving the ceramic additive in place.
Benefits of CeramiX PEKK
- Ease of printing
- High stiffness and strength
- Low thermal expansion below 150°C
- Easily machinable post-printing
- Excellent thermal properties (high Tg, HDT, Tm)
- Low moisture absorption
- Hard surface (100 Rockwell M)

Material DETAILS
Glass Fiber Reinforced Filament
What Is It?
DescriptionFibers made of glass reinforced into the polymer during manufacturing and aligned along the axis of filament.
This, along with their physical makeup, give this material enormous strength and mechanical properties.
What Does It Do?
Glass fiber reinforcement gives material a lot of desirable properties:
High strength
High stiffness
High chemical resistance
Low thermal expansion
How Does It Work?
Reinforcing plastic with glass fibers produces a 3D printing filament which exhibits the best properties of both fiberglass and the plastic of choice.
What Is It Good For?
Ideal for any applications which require strength and rigidity.
For these reasons, glass fiber reinforced filament is very popular in automotive, mechanical, civil engineering, and research industries.
