CreatBot PEEK-250

The PEEK-250 is a desktop high-temperature 3D printer from CreatBot. It has one nozzle that heats up to 480°C, a 200°C bed and a chamber that heats up to 200°C. The build volume is 250 x 250 x 280 mm. It has water cooling and a heat insulation system. CreatBot says it is the world's first desktop high-temperature 3D printer with a hot chamber of up to 200°C.

The World's First

Desktop high-temperature 3D printer with a max hot chamber of 200°C

When the hot chamber reaches 180°C, the outer surface temperature is less than 40°C (after 5 hours of heating).

Raise the hot chamber temperature to 180°C within 20 min

Why is a 180 °C hot chamber so important?

An ambient temperature of 180°C is required for PEEK to anneal. Therefore, after the device prints the PEEK model, it can be annealed directly in the device.

The advantages of doing so are:

1. There is no need to remove the model from the platform to avoid the bottom of the model losing platform adhesion, resulting in the internal stress of the bottom model losing platform restraint, causing the bottom of the model to deform after post-processing.
2. Avoid shutting down and cooling the model to take out the model. There is no exchange of hot and cold environments, which causes the model to have a large temperature difference in a short period of time, and the internal stress is fixed, and it cannot be effectively post-heat-treated.
3. After printing, the annealing treatment can be set directly inside the printer without any time delay. For example, it is set in advance to stand in a 180°C environment for 5 hours after printing, and then stand in a 120°C environment for 5 hours to fully anneal the PEEK parts

180°C is the temperature at which PEI material can be perfectly printed.

1. Printing environment temperature requirements: Usually set between 160°C and 200°C to ensure that the material can be fully extruded and bonded and reduce the internal stress after molding to prevent cracking. The recommended ambient temperature is 180°C to improve fluidity, obtain higher combined line strength, and improve heat resistance and chemical corrosion resistance by reducing molding internal stress.
2. PEI has hygroscopic properties and can cause material degradation. The humidity value is required to be less than 0.02%. The drying conditions are 150°C and 4 hours of drying treatment, and the drying treatment can be carried out directly in the cavity
3. PEI materials also usually need to be annealed after molding to eliminate the internal stress generated during the molding process. The advantages of direct annealing are the same as PEEK.

Ultra-high temperature extruder system

Equipped with a double-tooth silicon carbide extruder, it offers high torque, super wear resistance, and no step loss. It can print all filaments below 500°C, especially carbon fibre and glass fibre materials.

A water-cooling device is necessary; it is key to smooth printing with high-temperature filament. Hot-end is an Integrated die-casting wear-resistant nozzle, which can be replaced within 30 seconds without removing other parts or screws.

200°C thermally uniform chamber

The special spoiler device allows the hot air in the cavity to circulate 360°, ensuring the cavity is heated evenly and that the polymer material model is uniformly crystallized at any angle, resulting in perfect formation.

Chamber thermal insulation/safety

For the first time, an aviation-grade heat-insulating sports protective cover is used in professional-grade equipment. Through clever design, multi-path heat dissipation, customized high-temperature resistant parts, and the use of multi-layer heat-insulating materials, when the chamber temperature reaches 180°C, the temperature of the front door, top door, screen area, body, and side panel area of the machine is within 40°C, ensuring the safety of users.

High temperature platform 200°C

1. Aviation-grade ultra-flat platform + polymer-based coating
2. Natural flatness 0.05mm
3. High temperature flatness 0.1mm (cavity temperature 180°C)
4. No manual or automatic levelling required, avoiding manual levelling or sensor failure in high-temperature environments

One-stop annealing function

After the model is printed, there is no need to peel the model from the platform, cool it naturally, or anneal it in the annealing furnace.

You can select the 'direct annealing after printing' function for the corresponding material, such as PEEK, PEI, etc., on the screen in advance. You can also modify the built-in annealing temperature and time in the settings to achieve one-click annealing.

Material Types Supported by PEEK 3D Printers

Creatbot 3D printers have strong adaptability and stability for various filaments. Relying on hardware advantages (all-steel body, precise linear guides, adjustable-temperature nozzle/chamber, etc.), they can perfectly match all plastic 3D printing filaments, achieving optimal filament printing results and aligning with their material characteristics.
