A new research paper introduces a compact screw-based pellet extruder for high content feedstocks, and it could materially shift costs and throughput for polymer, metal and ceramic additive ...

Extruders are devices that heat and melt the feedstock and extrude it through the nozzle along a predetermined path on the print bed. Based on the material feeding, 3D printers are classified as ...

What Is TPU Filament in 3D Printing? This article explores the manufacturing challenges, limitations, and effective methods to improve TPU filament processing. Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) is a ...

If you’ve used a desktop 3D printer in the past, you’re almost certainly done battle with “strings”. These are the wispy bits of filament that harden in the air, usually as the printer’s nozzle moves ...

However, industrial 3D printing machines differ greatly from traditional desktop printers. Besides the format of the machines and the prints, one major difference can be found in the material that is ...

I have an old Prusa i2 that, like an old car, has been getting some major part replacements lately after many many hours of service. Recently both the extruder and the extruder motor died. The ...

Angel investors understand the high stakes of funding new technologies. The journey is fraught with financial, technical and market risks—but when a groundbreaking well-designed innovation meets the ...
