After nearly a year of research<br \/>\nand development efforts, the first prototype composite parts made out of standard PEEK and experimental electrically conductive PEEK, developed by ESA, have been successfully fabricated on the Zortrax machine.<\/p>\n<p>The LPD Plus dual extrusion technology used in the Zortrax Endureal has been traditionally used to print support structures out of different materials than the model itself. However, across the <a href=\"\/news\/topics\/aerospace\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">aerospace<\/a> sector, there is an increasing demand for high-end composite parts 3D printed out of two high-performance polymers. This is exactly what has just been achieved. To highlight what is possible with this new solution, Zortrax engineers used ESA\u2019s experimental blend of electrically conductive PEEK in combination with pure PEEK to print proof-of-concept models with simple electricity and data transfer features on the Zortrax Endureal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReducing weight is always one of the key design goals in <a href=\"\/news\/topics\/aerospace\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">aerospace<\/a> engineering and it can be done<br \/>\nby building parts that serve multiple purposes at once. In a standard airplane or spacecraft, you need to include both structural elements and wiring responsible for transferring <a href=\"\/news\/topics\/energy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">energy<\/a> or data between various systems. That is what we aim to solve with <a href=\"\/service\/3d-printing-service\">3D printing<\/a> PEEK components with electrically conductive paths. This way, the structural parts can at the same time perform electricity or data transfer functions without weight penalty incurred for additional wires. Imagine casting a solid steel slab that also works as a USB connector. That\u2019s what the Endureal can do with high-performance polymers,\u201d said Micha\u0142 Siemaszko, Head of Research and Development at Zortrax S.A.<\/p>\n<p>Printing composite models have been made possible because the Endureal\u2019s impressive specs were bumped even further. Zortrax engineering team managed to increase the rigidity of the extrusion system which translated into even better dimensional accuracy. Other hardware changes resulted in the Endureal\u2019s reaching even higher operating temperatures. The top extrusion temperature now stands at 480 \u00b0C. Maximum temperatures in the printing chamber and on the build platform can reach 200 \u00b0C and 220 \u00b0C, respectively, to further reduce warping and shrinkage of high-performance materials. Printing composite p<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">art<\/a>s out of two materials also required innovative changes in both firmware and software.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #eaeaea7a; padding: 15px 30px; overflow-wrap: break-word; display: flex; align-items: center; border-radius: 4px; box-shadow: -1px 4px 20px 0px #dedede; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;\">\n<div style=\"flex: 1; padding-right: 30px;\">\n<h4 style=\"margin-bottom: 14px;\">Manufacturing on Demand<\/h4>\n<div style=\"display: block;\">Maximize the freedom of your product design, get your ideal realized with 3D printing and other cutting-edge technologies!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a style=\"background-color: #0baee8; color: white; padding: 10px 20px; border-radius: 4px;\" href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i class=\"fa-fw auxicon auxicon-cloud-upload\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i> Get Quote<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe technology we are developing opens up a clear path to use the Zortrax Endureal for <a href=\"\/service\/3d-printing-service\">3D printing<\/a> smart components with built-in electrical circuits, all while retaining excellent thermal and mechanical properties of high-performance polymers like PEEK. This will make this printer a powerful tool in the hands of engineers and designers working for high-end and demanding <a href=\"\/news\/topics\/insights\/applications\">applications<\/a> like <a href=\"\/news\/topics\/automotive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">automotive<\/a>, <a href=\"\/news\/topics\/aerospace\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">aerospace<\/a> and space. We also expect groundbreaking solutions developed in projects like this one to quickly trickle down to our production level 3D printers\u201d\u00a0said\u00a0Rafa\u0142 Tomasiak, the CEO of Zortrax S.A.<\/p>\n<p>And this trickling down has already started. All changes and improvements that have been made to the printer\u2019s design to enable dual extrusion 3D printing using pure PEEK and conductive PEEK developed by ESA are already implemented across the board in all commercially available Endureal machines. The customers can rest assured that the printers they ordered will come ready to print composite models after a simple software update when the technology reaches the production level.<\/p>\n<p><em>*The view expressed herein can in no way be taken to reflect the official opinion of the European Space Agency.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote style=\"font-size: 16px; border-left: 4px solid #cdcdcd; border-radius: 4px; background-color: #f9f9f9; font-weight: 500; color: dimgrey;\">\n<h5 style=\"margin-bottom: 6px;\">You might also like:<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dprintingmedia.network\/perseverance-rover-3d-printed-metal-parts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NASA JPL provides more details about Perseverance Rover\u2019s 3D printed metal parts: <\/a>Using 3D printing allows engineers to play with unique designs and traits, such as making hardware lighter, stronger, or responsive to heat or cold. \u201cIt\u2019s like working with papier-m\u00e2ch\u00e9,\u201d said Andre Pate, the group lead for additive manufacturing at NASA\u2019s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. \u201cYou build each feature layer by layer, and soon you have a detailed part.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px; color: grey;\">* This article is reprinted from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dprintingmedia.network\/zortrax-prints-special-peek-parts-for-space-with-support-from-the-european-space-agency\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">3D Printing Media Network<\/a>.
