Light weight & Easy to mount
The extruder is engineered to be lightweight for the sole purpose of mounting it on a robotic arm. While several different types of robotic arms are available on the market today, we aim to be able to install the extruder on most types, weighing in at a little under 29 kilograms.
Multi materials
The extruder is able to use a wide variety of materials ranging from PP to PPS filled with carbon or glass fibres. A steady flow of plastic pellets to the barrel is achieved by blowing air from the 25kg container through a maximum of 20 meters transportation hose, in to the inlet located at the top of the extruder assembly.
High production output and low cost
Using pellets materials for 3D printing is cheaper than using filaments reducing operational and part cost. Another benefit of using pellets for 3D printing is the higher outputs than filament based machines. Depending on the material this extruder can reach outputs of up to 12kg/hr
High Torque stable control system
With an Siemens servo motor as a drive system we obtain maximum stability and reliability. Extremely high torques are readily available because of the implemenation of a 20:1 planetary gearbox. The combination of a servo motor and a planetary gearbox make the drive system the best performance possible.
Easy to Swap nozzle
The nozzle is located at the very end of the extruder barrel. The lowered complexity for the geometry of the nozzle allows for a variety of types to be installed. Nozzle sizes can range from 2mm up to 12mm depending on your application.
Stand alone
The whole system is operated through a Siemens touchscreen, which runs our specifically designed software. This software is the result of years of experience in plastics extrusion, 3D printing, and machinery development. When needed the extruder can be operated as a stand alone unit. It is also possible to connect this system to your robot or machine. This gives your robot the control over the extruder.
