March 12, 2026VICTREX AM 200 – Impact of Post-Print Annealing on Crystallinity
In the world of FDM® additive manufacturing, there are many post-processing techniques to help improve the performance of the printed part. One popular method involves annealing.
This paper will focus on determining the optimal annealing conditions for FDM 3D printed VICTREX AM™ 200. Additionally, it will discuss how those annealing conditions affect the material’s dimensional stability and overall crystallinity.
Stratasys explores how post-print annealing impacts the crystallinity and dimensional stability of parts printed with VICTREX AM™ 200, a high-performance PAEK polymer. The study identifies optimal annealing conditions—ranging from 170 °C to 200 °C and up to four hours—that enhance thermal properties while balancing dimensional accuracy. Whether your priority is precision or performance, this research offers actionable guidance to tailor post-processing for your application needs.
