with high performance polymers
OUTSTANDING
TECHNOLOGY
3D Printer Specifically Designed for

ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING OF IMPLANTS
The EXT 220 MED with its filament-based extrusion technology enables printing of implants and
instruments using high performance polymers, including PEEK and Radel® PPSU.
It is the only platform with an integrated clean room and temperature controls to enable high-quality
device production. The EXT 220 MED delivers rapid, reproducible printing for a broad range of applications
and is validated by leading hospitals and device manufacturers worldwide. Additional benefits include:
Validated to fulfill ASTM Laminar airflow enabling homogenous

F2026 standards temperature distribution
Excellent accuracy due Adaptive local temperature

to delta kinematics management
Fully controllable build Optimized for operating

chamber heating in clean rooms

MATERIALS
PEEK (e.g., VESTAKEEP® by Evonik)

Polyether ether ketone | Outstanding biocompatibility and biostability, ideal for implantation
• VESTAKEEP® i4 3DF, Implantable grade

Especially for long-term contact in the body
• VESTAKEEP® Fusion, Implantable grade

Supplemented with biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP)
• VESTAKEEP® iC4612 3DF

Containing 12% carbon fiber
• VESTAKEEP® iC4620 3DF

Containing 20% carbon fiber
PEKK
Polyether ketone ketone | Requires a lower build temperature than PEEK and is easier to process
High impact strength at low temperatures
PEKK-A, Implantable grade

PEKK-A is the amorphous version of PEKK, which is characterized by better printability
Radel® PPSU
Polyphenyl sulfone | Offers high impact strength and very good chemical resistance
Radel® PPSU, Limited body contact (24h) grade

Sterilizable up to 500 times
Resorbable polymers, implantable grade

For personalized, high resolution bioresorbable 3D printed implants
• RESOMER®, PDO, Polydioxanone, implantable grade, degradation time < 6 months
• RESOMER®, PCL, Poly (caprolactone), degradation time > 2 years
• RESOMER®, PLLA, Poly (L-lactide), degradation time > 3 years
• RESOMER®, PLGA, Poly (L-lactide-co-glycolide) 85:15, degradation time 1–2 years
