Highlighted Features

Sterile Printing Environment

The patented hot-air filter system analyses the component geometry and adapts the heating power to achieve always an optimum energy input. 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 Apium print control software automatically notifies you about maintenance operations and guides you through the procedures step-by-step.
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 with high performance polymers.

Application Scenarios

Apium 3D printing technology offers flexible and cost-saving solutions compared to traditional standardized implants for medical customized implants (craniomaxillofacial, intervertebral fusion devices, etc.).

Cranial Patch

3D printed PEEK cranial patches, with a density similar to that of the human body, strong osseointegration, good insulation, and no external hot or cold stimulation, are currently a good choice for bone defect replacement materials.
Spinal Body

3D printed PEEK vertebrae are strong, compatible, digitally medically reproduced vertebrae with high precision and a better fit to the original bone.
Intervertebral Fusion Device

3D printed PEEK intervertebral replacements are highly compatible and the porous structure of the surface facilitates fusion growth of the bone.
Medical Plastic Surgery

3D printed PEEK medical aesthetic patches, combined with digital medical treatment to achieve a tight bone fit with no artifacts in CT images, achieve round, full, and well-proportioned features.
