PEI (Ultem) in CNC Machining
Polyetherimide (PEI), known commercially as Ultem, is a high-performance thermoplastic with mechanical strength, thermal stability, dimensional stability, and resistance to harsh chemicals. RapidDirect CNC machines amber and black PEI for medical, electrical, aerospace, and automotive components.
- High strength: PEI supports durable components in demanding applications.
- Heat resistance: The material retains performance in elevated-temperature environments.
- Dimensional stability: PEI helps maintain precision in custom parts.
- Electrical insulation: PEI is used for insulating components and housings.
Selection note: PEI combines strength and rigidity with high-temperature performance and electrical insulation, making it suitable for demanding custom parts.
