Assessing biocompatibility & mechanical testing of 3D-printed PEEK versus milled PEEK

Objectives: To compare mechanical properties of 3D-printed and milled poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) materials. To define post-production treatments to enhance biocompatibility of 3D-printed PEEK. Methods: Standardised PEEK samples were produced via milling and fused-deposition-modelling 3D-printing...
