CreatBot PEEK-250
Ultra-high-temperature 3D printer for high-performance polymers (PEEK, PEI, PPSU)
The CreatBot PEEK-250 is an industrial 3D printer designed for the production of components in ultra-high-performance polymers such as PEEK, PEKK, PEI (Ultem), PPSU and carbon fiber and glass reinforced composites. It is a solution dedicated to printing in controlled environments at very high temperature, designed for applications where metal replacement is only possible with advanced materials.
With a heated chamber up to 200°C and a nozzle up to 480°C, it also integrates a direct annealing system into the machine, reducing the need for external post-processes.
Platform dedicated to extreme materials
The PEEK-250 is not an FDM “engineering” printer, but a platform designed exclusively for superpolymers. The thermal system is sized to ensure:
- Stable adhesion of the first layer
- Controlled crystallization
- reduction of internal tensions
This makes it suitable for functional components as a replacement for light metals or complex CNC machining.
Chamber up to 200°C and hotend up to 480°C
The machine operates in a much higher temperature range than standard industrial printers:
- Nozzle up to 480°C
- Heated bed up to 200°C
- Chamber up to 200°C
This allows the correct processing of PEEK and PEI, which require high temperatures and constant thermal stability to avoid delamination and deformation.
Direct Annealing System (DAS)
One of the key points of PEEK-250 is the integrated annealing system:
- The workpiece is heat-treated directly in the machine
- No need to remove the workpiece from the table
- Reduce thermal shock and post-print warping
This is especially important for PEEK and PEI, where heat post-treatment is often mandatory to achieve final mechanical performance.
Advanced cooling and insulation system
PEEK-250 uses a complex thermal architecture:
- Liquid cooling of the extrusion system
- Multi-layer thermal insulation
- Controlled airflow management
- Fully enclosed and stabilized chamber
The goal is to maintain a minimal thermal difference between deposition and environment to ensure industrial repeatability.
Supported materials
PEEK-250 is focused on ultra-high-performance materials:
- PEEK / PEEK-CF / PEEK-GF
- PEKK
- PEI (Ultem)
- PPSU / PPS
- High-performance PA
- Technical PC
- Carbon fiber and glass composites
It is one of the few desktop platforms that can handle the full spectrum of industrial superpolymers.
Industrial applications
PEEK-250 is intended for highly critical sectors:
- Aerospace (lightweight structural components)
- medical (biocompatible and sterilizable devices)
- Automotive Racing and High-Performance
- Chemical industry (high chemical resistance)
- Advanced Materials Research Development
- Replacement of metal parts in extreme environments
Architecture and performance
The machine integrates:
- High Temperature Direct Extruder
- Fully enclosed and heated chamber
- Liquid cooling system
- Multi-level thermal management
- Platform designed for long-term stability
The focus is not on speed, but on the structural quality of the workpiece in extreme materials.

FAQ
Is PEEK-250 suitable for continuous production?
Yes, but only for high-performance materials and controlled processes.
Can it print standard materials such as PLA or PETG?
Yes, but it’s not its ideal use: it’s oversized for base materials.
What is its main advantage?
The ability to print and anneal PEEK/PEI directly on the machine, while maintaining dimensional stability and high mechanical properties.
Request a consultation
The CreatBot PEEK-250 is a highly specialized machine: the correct choice depends a lot on the material, the geometry of the part and thermomechanical requirements.
