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:

Optimized for operating in clean rooms

Fully controllable build chamber heating

Validated to fulfill ASTM F2026 standards

Excellent accuracy due to delta kinematics

Laminar airflow enabling homogenous temperature distribution

Adaptive local temperature management

Elevate Quality with Temperature Management

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
Integrate the EXT 220 MED platform into standard medical production environments

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

Use the extractor hood to connect the printer to your clean room air exhaust
Includes a filter system
Keep particles out and prevent contamination

Fulfill ISO class 7 clean room requirements according to DIN EN ISO 14644
Features advanced contamination prevention
Eliminate the risk of contamination of filament and final parts

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

Craniomaxillofacial Implants

Material: PEEK
Patient-specific cranial and orbital plates are 3D printed using a complete design-to-delivery workflow. Manufacturing time is as little as two days from scan to surgery

Interbody Fusion Devices

Material: PEEK BCP
PEEK filled with BCP or HA—combined with integrated lattice structures—is intended to support cell attachment and proliferation

Trial Implants: Trauma Bone Plates

Material: Radel^® PPSU
Very high thermal stability and high resistance to cleaning agents, disinfectants and other solvents

Retractor Blades

Material: CFR-PEEK
Radiotranslucent durable blade which is resistant to hot steam with high stiffness due to carbon fiber-reinforcement
