System Capabilities
Simple & Accessible Operation
Operate the system through a straightforward interface designed for ease of use, allowing teams to quickly set up and run extrusion processes with minimal complexity.
- Navigate system settings through a clear OLED display and a simple rotate-and-push control
- Use predefined material profiles to start extrusion quickly without complex setup
- Create and save custom profiles to support repeatable workflows
- Designed for hands-on use in educational, lab, and early-stage research environments
Process Visibility & Monitoring
Monitor key extrusion parameters during operation to better understand material behavior and support informed adjustments between runs.
- Track key process parameters such as temperature, filament diameter, and motor activity during extrusion
- Visualize data through simple graphs to support analysis and comparison between runs
- Export data for further evaluation and documentation of material tests
- Use process insights to adjust settings and improve repeatability over time
Diameter Monitoring & Filament Handling
Measure and control filament diameter during extrusion to support consistent output across testing and prototyping workflows.
- Optical sensor monitors filament diameter during extrusion
- Measurement data helps identify variations and adjust settings between runs
- Puller system regulates filament speed to support consistent diameter formation
- Interchangeable puller wheels accommodate different material temperatures
Stable Filament Formation
Designed to support consistent filament formation during extrusion, helping maintain reliable output across testing and prototyping workflows.
