FDM / MATERIAL PROFILE

PEI

As an amorphous high-performance plastic, PEI offers a versatile foundation for technical components with increased dimensional stability requirements.

Illustrative PEI component
YOUR POSSIBILITIES

Typical applications

Custom housings, mounting brackets, covers and functional parts in demanding technical environments.

YOUR BENEFITS

Why PEI?

PEI combines stiffness and dimensional stability with strong thermal performance for compact parts.

Performance profile

Heat deflection temperature (HDT)
up to 158 °C
Tensile strength
up to 54 MPa
Elongation at break
up to 3 %
Tensile modulus
up to 2,050 MPa

Ideas for your application

Device development, automation and plant engineering with custom supports, housing parts and mounting interfaces.

Surface and appearance

An opaque surface with a technical layer structure.

Designing your part to fit

Radii at screw mounting points and consistent wall thicknesses support a strong design. Assembly forces are considered when choosing print orientation.

Finishing and post-processing

Drilling and reaming enable accurately sized connections and functional surfaces.
