High-performance plastics have outstanding mechanical and thermal properties. However, there are some difficulties when printing these materials.
A fully crystallized piece, good surface finish and surface adhesion.
To ensure a fully crystallized component and good adhesion of the layers, more energy is required in the top layers than in conventional materials. This additional energy in the form of heat can be given in various ways. The following three methods are the most commonly used:
(Apium P220)
Energy is given only where it is needed – in the uppermost layers. We do this by installing a zone heater just above the print surface, which creates a hot air film.
Why this solution? We get a fully crystalline component with very good surface quality and good layer adhesion at the same time. No other method can meet these three goals simultaneously. In addition, due to the relatively small heated area, our process is extremely agile and energy efficient.
For good surface finish and tight tolerances, it is important that the part stays firm in the lower regions to avoid micro-movements during printing. This hardness is achieved by staying just below the softening temperature (Tg) of the printing material.
Only the uppermost layers have temperatures above Tg. This is necessary for good layer adhesion.
Compared to the space heater, the space heater is very agile and can be quickly adjusted to any desired condition. This allows us to print small details without smearing them.
The entire building volume is heated to 220 ° C. High temperatures provide a fully crystalline component and good layer adhesion. However, the surface quality of this process is lower.
The large thermal mass that must be heated before each printing process results in long heating times and high energy consumption. In addition, high temperatures in the assembly area have a negative effect on bearings and other mechanical components.
Temperatures throughout the part are well above the softening point (Tg) of the component. As a result, the material loses its stiffness and the movements of the print head create micro-movements. This results in loss of surface quality and tolerance.
In addition, local overheating can occur, which causes smearing of small details.
Here again the entire installation space is heated to 120 °C. Due to the significantly lower temperatures, the part cools very quickly and therefore cannot crystallize completely. This causes amorphous phases in the component. These can be recognized by their dark discoloration.
These steps have a negative impact on the mechanical, chemical and thermal availability of the components and must be subsequently crystallized with an additional working step.
After the printing process, the part is annealed in the furnace. This results in the conversion of amorphous phases to a crystalline structure.
This process causes a change in density and causes deterioration of the component. This effect is particularly strong in more complex geometries.
Dimensional accuracy cannot be avoided with this method.
The Apium Adaptive Heating System combines the advantages of the other two methods. It heats only where necessary. Other areas remain cooler to provide adequate rigidity. This leads to the best possible component quality.

Our extruder was developed with flexibility and robustness in mind. The feed force, which is four times higher than the previous model, makes it possible to process fiber-reinforced high-performance polymers with a high percentage of filler. Specially designed filament guide automates the loading process.
By integrating a camera system, temperature recording and the use of servo motors, the printing process is continuously monitored. This allows the printer to intervene independently when deviations occur.
Integrated calibration routines ensure consistent part quality. The software automatically notifies you of any maintenance work and guides you step-by-step through the procedures.
All the important parameters of a printing process are automatically presented in a PDF protocol. Integrated user management prevents unwanted access. We decided against cloud-based solutions for your data security.
The control software is specifically adapted to our printer hardware and is optimized for processing high-performance polymers. An intuitive user interface allows for easy operation of the printer. You can always manage print jobs and check the status of the printer.
The open system allows the use of other materials not available in our product portfolio. The P220 also allows the processing of sinterable metal-filled filaments.
Our service department will train you in the use of your printer. We are happy to answer any questions you may have about the printer and other challenges of 3D printing of high-performance polymers.

Material Extrusion 3D Printing (also known as Fused Filament Fabrication or Fused Deposition Modeling) is a 3D printing technology for processing filament form thermoplastic materials into three-dimensional objects. The filament is fed from a large bobbin, through a moving gear system (extruder) to a heated, mechanically translated print head, and then extruded through a nozzle onto a surface. In the layer approach, the subsequent deposition/extrusion of material onto the surface results in the creation of the 3D object. The entire printing process is computer-controlled, which ensures the necessary process control for high-quality objects.
Software is one of Apium’s core competencies. Apium provides simple and efficient operation to the user with the user interface on the printer’s touch surface. Special service and maintenance functions facilitate daily use of the printer and provide detailed access to all settings. The web interface application makes it easy to monitor print processes and manage the printer over the network with the integrated camera from a remote workplace.
The Apium P220 Series supports a wide variety of amorphous and semi-crystalline thermoplastics, from ABS, PP, PVDF, PEI, PEEK, Carbon Fiber Reinforced PEEK to metal-containing compounds such as Stainless Steel (316L). The system allows end users to print their preferred materials.
Advanced parameter control enables various printing parameters for demanding geometries in a single part. This unique ability overcomes most geometric challenges.
Running on the Apium P220, the system recognizes the type of material and monitors the amount used. When the Apium P220 detects that an Apium material has been loaded, it automatically adjusts the settings according to Apium’s material profile, allowing you to use the optimum processing parameters for high quality results.
Apium’s advanced extruder technology enables the processing of pure materials as well as reinforced, compound materials. Our advanced extruder can process materials with a higher percentage of carbon fiber or glass fiber, such as 30% Carbon Fiber Reinforced PEEK.
