Ensinger TECAFIL comprises a large portfolio of PAEK filaments in 1,75mm diameter. Since our PEEK 3D printing filament portfolio includes the most modifications as in features und colours, it can be described as one of the largest. To name the most important variants:

• Evonik PEEK filament
• Victrex PEEK filament (several colours)
• Carbon fiber reinforced Victrex and Evonik PEEK filaments
• PEEK LDS filament (laser direct structuring)

Ensinger was one of the first companies to successfully extrude PEEK. The process know-how, which we have gained over more than 3 decades, is the starting point for manufacturing many variants and highly modified high performance PEEK filaments. Since we are not limited to one raw material, we can offer PEEK 3D filaments that are based on different resins, as we do with the unfilled grade as in Victrex® or VESTAKEEP® Evonik PEEK filament.
In addition to our unfilled PEEK variants we offer modified versions with outstanding PEEK filament properties. Those modifications are e.g. carbon fiber PEEK filaments and other variants such as PEEK LDS that allows laser direct structuring.

In over 50 years we have worked on developing suitable plastic solutions for almost all needs. Over the time, we have added more and more processes, such as compounding, to achieve the best possible results. This enables us today to offer unique 3D printer PEEK filaments, such as a 30% carbon PEEK filament - the only one on the market with such a high filling degree.
Like our unfilled grades, both PEEK carbon fiber filaments are available in two different raw materials in order to offer the most suitable filament for our customers. Information on material properties, application examples, processing parameters for printing PEEK filaments as in PEEK 3D printing temperature, heating chamber temperature or drying recommendations etc. can be found on the product detail pages.

TECAFIL PEEK 3D printer filaments are qualified for a wide range of industrial printers and can be used with at least most models from the manufacturers listed in the partner section and of course with other industrial printers that meet the recommended process parameters.

Compared to materials such as POM or PA filaments, PEEK filament prices are relatively high, however, PEEK enables a huge range of applications with high requirements regarding heat resistance, mechanical load and chemical resistance that are simply not possible to meet with engineering plastics.
