The platform delivers rapid, reproducible printing for a broad range of applications and is validated by leading hospitals and device manufacturers worldwide. Additional benefits of the EXT 220 MED 3D printer include:

1. Optimized for operating in clean rooms

2. Fully controllable build chamber heating

3. Validated to fulfill ASTM F2026 standards

4. Excellent accuracy due to delta kinematics

5. Laminar airflow enabling homogenous temperature distribution

6. Adaptive local temperature management

Elevate Quality with Temperature Management

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 improve the mechanical properties of devices. The platform is designed to control temperatures during production to enable high-quality, 3D-printed medical devices produced using thermogenic polymers, like PEEK and Radel® PPSU.

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

Achieve excellent 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

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.

Optimized for operating in clean rooms

1. Integrate the EXT 220 MED platform into standard medical production environments

2. Receive support to pass medical qualification processes (IQ,OQ,PQ)

3. Use the extractor hood to connect the printer to your clean room air exhaust

Includes a filter system

1. Keep particles out and prevent contamination

2. Fulfill ISO class 7 clean room requirements according to DIN EN ISO 14644

Features advanced contamination prevention

1. Eliminate the risk of contamination of filament and final parts

2. Simplify cleaning and maintenance with smart design such as touch-to-open hinges

Monitor Processes and Assure Quality

Besides monitoring all relevant process parameters, the industrial-grade control system and software used in the EXT 220 MED make process analytics and documentation feasible even in highly regulated industries.
