PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone) is a high-performance thermoplastic known for its exceptional mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistance. It can withstand temperatures up to 260°C and is highly resistant to wear, corrosion, and radiation. Due to its strength and biocompatibility, PEEK is widely used in aerospace, automotive, medical, and industrial applications. Its high melting point and processing requirements make it challenging to print, requiring specialized 3D printers with high-temperature capabilities.
