Can PEEK and PPS be shaped to this extent!? The secret of "high interlayer strength" achieved with a compact 3D printer.
In this video, we will introduce the technology for 3D printing high-temperature engineering plastics such as PEEK and PPS with exceptional precision, along with examples of their print quality. Generally, materials reinforced with CF (carbon fiber) or GF (glass fiber) are high-strength and high-rigidity but have lower sliding properties, raising concerns about friction and wear. However, the "POTICON filament" we are discussing achieves high sliding properties, providing significant advantages in applications involving friction loads, such as gears, sliding components, and tool mechanisms. Additionally, the video will provide a detailed explanation of how the design incorporates the contact surface with the build plate. Understanding the characteristic of the printed surface transferring the texture of the build plate, we will discuss which side should be the bottom surface and the design philosophy to balance appearance and functionality. You will also see the reasons why complex shapes like tool heads can be printed with fine details, along with tips for enhancing surface quality.

Furthermore, we will provide a detailed explanation of "interlayer strength (Z-direction strength)," which many people have inquired about. In FDM methods, the strength in the layering direction tends to be weak, and it is not uncommon for other manufacturers' 3D printers to achieve only about 10-20% of the strength in the XY direction. In contrast, our printer achieves high interlayer strength of around 50%, and in some materials, it approaches 70%, thanks to the optimization of material properties and printing conditions. Particularly, the ability to achieve high interlayer strength with small machines using difficult-to-process materials like PPS and PEEK is a significant feature. This video provides practical tips for those considering the selection of a 3D printer, companies working on in-house production of functional parts, and individuals who feel challenges with the print quality of PEEK or PPS. We encourage you to watch and learn the know-how to maximize the potential of high-performance resins.
