Antero 800NA is a PEKK-based polymer developed specifically for
production-grade Stratasys FDM® 3D printers. Boeing has released
specification BMS8-444 and added the 800NA material to the
Qualified Products List (QPL) after an extensive evaluation of the
material’s performance. It is the first material from Stratasys
qualified by Boeing for use in applications with elevated chemical
resistance or fatigue requirements.
“Boeing has recognized the tremendous utility of Antero to meet
applications that couldn’t have been 3D-printed before,” said
Stratasys Aerospace Vice President Scott Sevcik. “Additive
manufacturing has tremendous benefits for simplifying aerospace
supply chains both in original equipment and MRO, but robust
materials for meeting challenging flight requirements have been
needed.”
The Antero family of materials includes 800NA as well as Antero
840CN03, which is an electrostatic dissipative (ESD) variant.
Stratasys provides these materials both for customers who use the
Stratasys F900 and Fortus 450mc 3D printers and as a material
option for on-demand customers through Stratasys Direct
Manufacturing.
