Why we Need a Heated Chamber for 3D Printing with ‘High Performance’ Polymers?

Evgeny Boytsov, Sergei Blaginin, Alexey Sinkov

Abstract. This paper is dedicated to the features of the processes of 3D printing of polymers with a high melting point such as PEEK, CarbonPEEK, ULTEM, PPSU using FDM (FFF) technology. The results of 3D printing with high-performance polymers using different conditions of the heated chamber are presented. Conclusions about the advantages of a heated chamber are made.
