Earlier this week, Italian 3D printing group Roboze published a white paper, titled "PEEK 3D Printing vs Metal Production Processes," comparing the use of high engineering-grade materials using Roboze solutions versus metal production processes. Modern thermoplastics, like PEEK, are able to replicate a lot of the strengths of metal, minus the drawbacks: the materials can reduce weight, cost, and production time. The Roboze team recently tested three methods of production, using CNC machining, 3D metal printing, and FFF 3D printing with the Roboze One +400 to make the same part, in order to demonstrate that FFF 3D printing really was the better choice. Roboze compared the two most important aspects that manufacturers take into consideration: the cost of producing the part, and how long the process takes.
