Yes! PA2201 and 2200 is biocompatible according to ISO10993 and you can autoclave it. Thank you for the input. I will check what degree of bio-compatibility is needed exactly for my device. Also “EOS PEEK HP3” seems like a possible choice.

Thank you for the input. The only medical grade (bio-compatible) material i find from Taulman is Guidel!ne. And it seems like you can not autoclave it…

Is the material also bio-compatible? (can come in contact with tissue)

We decided t go with Autoclave. That forces us to look into Nylon or other material than can handle autoclave temperature.

Going forward in my project, autoclave seems like one essential requirement… I will definitely look at the possibility to manufacture using Nylon. Thank you for the input

Thank you for your input! I sent a mail to Stratasys regarding autoclaving the ABS M30i material. I found on another page that autoclave will damage ABS M30i… Formlabs Dental SG resin looks like a very good choice. I will mail them and ask what equipment they use. Kind Regards, Chris

Thank you for the input. My purpose is to 3D print a free form that will come in temporary contact with wounds. Thus it needs to be clinically sterile before use. Therefore, i would appreciate if someone could give me hints on what printing technology i should use, and what material, in combinatio…

I found a material “ABS M30i”, which seems to be biocompatible. Can i autoclave it perhaps?

i was hoping to autoclave the object, but i am worried about deformation of the material because of heat. But i am open to other sterilizing types, but then i am worried about small surface defects making the item not 100% sterile.

Hi, I wonder what type of 3D-printing material i should use, if i want to sterilize the printed object in a simple way. The printed object will need to be sterile, but keep all its structural shape (no deformation). Shape of product will vary, but approx. 10x10x2cm or smaller. Shape is usually a f…
