The CreatBot PEEK-250 is an industrial FDM printer built for high-performance polymers such as PEEK, PEI (ULTEM), and other engineering thermoplastics, offering a 250 × 250 × 300 mm build volume with precision down to 50 µm. As the first desktop model with a 200 °C chamber, it reaches 180 °C in just 20 minutes while keeping exterior surfaces below 40 °C, and its integrated annealing function minimizes warping by enabling printing and annealing in one device. A 480 °C water-cooled extruder with a silicon carbide nozzle, paired with an aviation-grade 200 °C heated platform that requires no manual leveling, ensures consistent extrusion and dimensional stability at extreme temperatures.
Designed for demanding applications in medical, aerospace, automotive, and defense sectors, the PEEK-250 delivers the strength, heat resistance, and chemical stability needed for organizations transitioning from traditional to additive manufacturing.
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.

The CreatBot PEEK-250 employs an aviation-grade three-layer thermal insulation system with optimized heat dissipation (managed by active air cooling) and high-temperature resistant components, keeping all external surfaces below 40 °C even when the chamber reaches 180 °C to ensure user safety.
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.
The CreatBot PEEK-250 is a high-performance 3D printer supporting over 18 filament types, from standard engineering plastics to ultra-performance polymers such as PEEK, PEI (ULTEM™), PEKK, and their carbon- and glass-fiber reinforced variants. The printer accepts standard 1.75 mm filaments, supports third-party materials, and includes a one-stop annealing function to enhance part strength and stability without post-processing transfers.
