What is the print quality and performance of the Creatbot PEEK-250 Industrial 3D Printer?
The CreatBot PEEK-250 achieves 50 µm layer heights with XY accuracy of 0.0127 mm and Z accuracy of 0.00125 mm, producing smooth surfaces and fine details with strong dimensional stability. Its combination of high-temperature capability and precise motion control minimizes warping and adhesion issues common with advanced filaments like PEEK and PEI. For example, a 3DBenchy printed in PEEK showed no warping and strong interlayer fusion, with an even first layer, clean chimney bore, and minimal stringing — only slight faint Z-seam, all tunable via slicer settings.
The CreatBot PEEK-250 prints optimally at 55 mm/s, with speeds up to 200 mm/s supported by its Cartesian motion system running on precision linear rails.

Thermal management includes a 480 °C nozzle, 200 °C platform, and 200 °C chamber that heats to 180 °C in just 20 minutes, providing the controlled environment needed for crystallization and bonding of high-performance filaments.

Example: Architectural models printed with PEEK

The CreatBot PEEK-250’s design enhances print quality with a double-tooth silicon carbide extruder for high torque and wear resistance, ideal for abrasive composites.

An integrated water cooling system ensures stable extrusion at extreme temperatures, while a spoiler device circulates hot air 360° for uniform chamber heating.

This consistent temperature supports proper crystallization and uniform mechanical properties in printed parts.

Test PEEK samples


Its one-stop annealing function allows PEEK and PEI parts to be annealed directly in the printer without any time delay, avoiding transfer-related warping and ensuring optimized mechanical properties and dimensional stability for end-use applications.

What is the difference between the Creatbot PEEK-250, Intamsys Funmat HT, CreatBot PEEK-300, 3D Labs HTX, Intamsys Funmat Pro 410 and Mosaic Element?
CreatBot PEEK-250 is the first desktop PEEK 3D printer capable of printing with ULTEM. Main advantages over its competitors: a 200 °C active chamber with in-process direct annealing (no post-anneal step), 480 °C nozzle, 200 °C bed, and a water-cooled direct-drive extruder over a 250×250×300 mm volume at $11,999+ — aimed at strong crystallinity and dimensional stability without extra heat-treat cycles.
In contrast:
- Intamsys Funmat HT — Wins: lowest price ($7,000+). Loses to PEEK-250: cooler thermals (450 °C nozzle, 160 °C bed, 90 °C chamber), no direct annealing, smaller Z (260 mm), and no water-cooled drive.
- CreatBot PEEK-300 — Wins: larger 300×300×400 mm build and dual, water-cooled direct-drives. Loses: higher price ($15,000+) and cooler chamber (120 °C vs 200 °C).
- 3D Labs HTX — Wins: bigger 370×300×300 mm volume, hotter 500 °C nozzle and 220 °C bed, dual drives. Loses: cooler 100 °C chamber, no direct annealing, higher price ($15,500+), and no water-cooling listed.
- Intamsys Funmat Pro 410 — Wins: largest reach in this set (305×305×406 mm), dual water-cooled direct-drives, 500 °C nozzle. Loses: highest price among non-Stratasys peers ($28,000+), cooler 90 °C chamber and 160 °C bed, and no direct annealing.
- Mosaic Element — Wins: large 355×355×355 mm volume at a lower price ($10,000+) with a 500 °C nozzle. Loses: much cooler environment (120 °C bed, 80 °C chamber), no direct annealing, and single direct-drive without water-cooling.

- Environment: Keep printer clean, dry, and within 5–30 °C operating range.
Mechanical Maintenance
- Lubrication: Clean guide rails and oil if head sticks or moves roughly.
- Belts & Pulleys: Check belt tension and tighten pulleys if head skips or stalls.
Extruder & Nozzle
- Nozzle Blockages: Use clean filament; clean nozzle if extrusion slows or stops.
- Temperature Calibration: Match nozzle temperature to filament type (PLA: 190–210 °C, ABS: 230–250 °C).
Electrical & Cooling
- Fans & Sensors: Ensure all fans run properly; check sensors for MINTEMP/MAXTEMP errors.
