VESTAKEEP® PEEK - Implant grade filaments
Evonik has become the first company in the world to develop a polymer filament based on PEEK (polyether ether ketone) in implant-grade quality for use as a 3D printing material for implants.

This high-performance material can be used in fused filament fabrication (FFF) technology and is expected to enable additive production of three-dimensional plastic parts for medical implants in the human body.

Testing and Development grade enables cost-effective process adaptation
Evonik provides what is known as a “testing grade” version of its PEEK filament for fused filament fabrication (FFF) technology. The testing-grade material has the exact same processing and mechanical product properties as the implant-grade material—but without the documentation needed for approval in medical device applications. This offers a cost-effective way of adapting the processing characteristics of the high-performance plastic for printing processes.

No other market showcases the benefits of additive manufacturing as evident as in today’s medical technology. Evonik and KUMOVIS, a 3D Systems company, explore the possibilities of 3D printing in medical technology for enhanced patient recovery.
Medical 3D printing grade
VESTAKEEP®i4 3DF is perfectly suitable for additive manufacturing using fused filament fabrication (FFF) technology. This PEEK filament is an implant-grade material based on VESTAKEEP® i4 G, a highly viscous, high-performance polymer from Evonik impressing by its
- biocompatibility
- biostability
- x-ray transparency, and
- easy handling.
The filament is manufactured in a clean and controlled environment and undergoes strict quality management for medical materials to meet the requirements of ASTM F2026 (the standard specification for PEEK polymers for surgical implant applications).
