Apium - Model M220 -3D Printer
Apium provides a cost-effective solution to manufacture customized implants; The M220 is the world`s first 3D printer designed specifically for the manufacturing of medical products and implants made out of PEEK.
Sterile printing environment
The hot-air filter system analyses the component geometry and adapts the heating power so that an optimum energy input is always achieved. The air flow enclosing the component is filtered in a practically particle- free circuit.
New extrusion technology
Our extruder was developed regarding flexibility and durability. The four times higher feed force compared to the previous model enables a precise material flow. All components in contact with the printing material are made of medically compatible materials: PEEK, titanium^ 316L steel and PTFE.
Biocompatible filaments
In cooperation with Evonik: materials and filaments were tested for their biocompatibility and the corresponding tests were successfully completed This allows medical devices up to Class III to be manufactured from PEEK.
Monitored printing process
By integrating a camera system temperature recording and servomotors the printing process is continuously monitored. This enables the printer to intervene automatically when deviations occur
Reproducibility
Integrated calibration routines guarantee consistent component quality. The software automatically informs about incoming maintenance operations and guides step-by- step through the procedures.
Documentation & Safety
All important parameters concerning the printing process are automatically provided in a PDF protocol The integrated user administration prevents unwanted access. For your data security, we have decided against cloud based solutions.
Integrated software
The control software is specially adapted to our printer hardware and optimized for processing high-performance polymers. An intuitive user interface allows an easy handling of the printer You can manage print jobs and check the status of the printer at any time.
Technical support
Our service department will train you in the handling of your printer. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have about the printer and other challenges of 3D printing.
