Create high-quality medical parts with the EXT 220 MED (Kumovis R1)
EXT 220 MED (Kumovis R1) – 3D Systems Industrial FDM 3D Printer
The EXT 220 MED (Kumovis R1) is designed for printing medical materials.
3D print medical devices in high performance polymers with EXT 220 MED
The EXT 220 MED, formerly the Kumovis R1, is an open filament 3D printer designed to enable manufacture of medical devices with implant- and medical-grade polymers like PEEK and Radel® PPSU.
Temperature Management is Key to Excellent Mechanical Properties
The EXT 220 MED is equipped with a global laminar air flow, which allows users to heat the build chamber homogenously up to 250 degrees Celsius. The additional local air flow helps you improve the mechanical properties of your devices. The platform is designed to control temperatures during production. Medical devices produced using thermogenic polymers, like PEEK and Radel® PPSU, are temperature controlled during production resulting in high-quality printed parts.
Fully controllable build chamber heating
Heat up to 250 degrees Celsius, prevent device warping, increase layer adhesion, and adapt build chamber temperature to suit specific polymers
Laminar airflow enabling homogenous temperature distribution
Guarantee reproducibility with no temperature gradient within the build part
Adaptive local temperature management
Adjust local cooling for each strand and layer individually, heat up to further increase layer adhesion, reduce the need for post-processing, and simplify removal of support structures
Heat up to 250 degrees Celsius, prevent device warping, increase layer adhesion, and adapt build chamber temperature to suit specific polymers
Make the Build Chamber a Clean Room
With the help of the integrated filter system, the build chamber can be turned into a clean room to avert contamination. What’s more, the 3D printer is “clean room ready” for production in existing sterile environments and meets medical standards.
