The main goal of the work is to develop a comprehensive testing process for polyetheretherketone (PEEK) manufactured by the additive method in medical implantation applications for complex load condition obtained from biomechanical modeling and measurements in the motion analysis laboratory. Biocompatible PEEK material is currently used in various medical areas such as dentistry, knee implants, spine implants, plastic surgery and as hip joint endoprostheses. Big the advantage of PEEK is its compatibility with existing implant materials and fillers used during surgery. PEEK and its composites are characterized very good mechanical and physicochemical properties. Being able to print it provided much-needed development and manufacturing assistance complex implant geometries. Observations s
