Apium P series industrial-grade 3D printers, with German-made excellent quality and precise temperature control, not only meet customized 3D printing applications with high thermal performance requirements, but also provide stable repeatability (Product resolution) to achieve small batch production . The Apium PEEK 220 3D printer can be used in: material development, process optimization (functional test & improvement), small customized production, etc.
Apium P series 3D printers are lightweight and can be installed onshore, offshore or in remote locations, and because the oil and gas industry is time-critical, a clear advantage of using Apium P series printers is that the time based on maintenance objectives can be greatly reduced , especially compared to the traditional ordering or processing from distant warehouses or suppliers, thus ensuring uninterrupted energy production. On-Site's 3D printers allow workers to rapidly manufacture replacement parts or auxiliary parts, maintaining operational and production levels.
Mechanically stable over a temperature range of 196°C (-321°F) to 260°C (500°F)
Structural withstand pressures up to 200 MPa (~ 29000 psi)
Ensures mechanical stability and surface dynamics in chemical environments such as seawater, aromatic hydrocarbon liquids, etc. due to the high corrosion resistance of PEEK materials
Marginal loss of tensile strength (25%) when exposed to 100% hydrogen sulfide gas at relatively high temperature (220°C) and pressure (4.5 MPa)
Apium P220 makes it possible to 3D print components for downhole equipment such as sealing systems, fasteners, gas separation systems, gears, impellers, plugs, tubes and housings.

Apium P220 is a high-temperature 3D printer for printing high-performance polymers. For PEEK, PEI ULTEM™ and other high-performance materials, P220 can better manage the temperature during the printing process. The print size is 850 mm x 685 mm x 675 mm and the weight is 65 kg. Its low noise makes it suitable for office environments. The machine does not require additional infrastructure to operate. If you want to know more about Apium P220, please contact us
