FibreX™ PEEK+GF20 glass fiber reinforced PEEK [Polyether Ether Ketone] delivers the highest thermo-mechanical properties in our portfolio. This material boasts an industry-leading heat distortion temperature [HDT] of 310°C and is complimented by PEEK’s exceptional mechanical and chemical resistance properties. This material is hands-down a game changer for filament-based 3D printing.
FibreX™ PEEK+GF20 (PolyEtherEtherKetone) is one of the highest-performance polymers in world. In fact, it’s one of the highest-performance plastics ever invented. Now reinforced 20% with glass fibers, PEEK+GF20 has exceptional mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistance properties along with its low warp, increased stiffness, and improved dimensional stability. PEEK+G20 is a go-to material in some of the most demanding applications where failure is not an option.
Print industrial-grade parts using our PEEK+GF20 and more with the new Gearbox™ HT2 High-Temp 3D Printer.

What Is It?
Fibers made of glass reinforced into the polymer during manufacturing and aligned along the axis of filament.
This, along with their physical makeup, give this material enormous strength and mechanical properties.
What Does It Do?
Glass fiber reinforcement gives material a lot of desirable properties:
How Does It Work?
Reinforcing plastic with glass fibers produces a 3D printing filament which exhibits the best properties of both fiberglass and the plastic of choice.
What Is It Good For?
Ideal for any applications which require strength and rigidity.
For these reasons, glass fiber reinforced filament is very popular in automotive, mechanical, civil engineering, and research industries.
This material is particularly abrasive among 3D printing filaments. Users may find standard brass nozzles are chewed through very quickly compared to standard wear and tear. When worn through, the nozzle diameter will widen inconsistently and the printer will experience extrusion issues.
Because of this, it's strongly recommended this material be printed through a hardened steel nozzle rather than a softer metal. Hardened steel nozzles can often be inexpensive and easily installed depending on your printer manufacturer's instructions.
