Trusted by Industrial and Research Teams Worldwide

Material Processing for Research and Production Workflows

Filament Maker TWO is a controlled extrusion system designed to support material validation, process development, and consistent filament production across research and industrial environments.

It enables teams to understand how materials behave during extrusion, establish stable processing conditions, and produce filament that can be tested, validated, and used in real-world applications.

Role in the Material Workflow

Across Material Validation and Application

Filament Maker TWO supports material evaluation and processing across different workflow setups, adapting to how teams structure their processes.

It can be used as a standalone system for material testing and validation, integrated with feedstock preparation systems for closed-loop workflows, or as part of more advanced setups where higher output and process stability become more important.

Standalone use

Material testing, validation, and early-stage process definition.

Integrated workflows

Combine with shredding and drying systems to process internal material streams and reuse.

Higher-throughput setups

Support more stable, ongoing processing where output and consistency become more critical.

What it Enables

Material validation

Assess material behavior during extrusion and establish stable processing conditions for testing and development.

In-house material processing

Bring material processing in-house to reduce dependency on external suppliers and gain more control over material behavior and output.

Reliable filament output

Produce filament with controlled extrusion for consistent testing, prototyping, and small-batch production.

Production-oriented use

Support use cases where higher output, process stability, and consistent results become critical to the application.

System Capabilities

Serviceability & Uptime

The split housing design provides direct access to key components, enabling faster maintenance, easier material changes, and efficient troubleshooting while minimizing downtime.

  • Quick screw removal for cleaning between runs and monitoring material behavior such as melting, dispersion, or degradation
  • Faster troubleshooting through direct visibility and access to internal components
  • Efficient material switching to support iterative workflows and minimize downtime between runs
  • Accessible component design, including insulation sleeve, die head, and nozzle, for straightforward maintenance

Real-Time Monitoring & Control

Monitor and adjust the extrusion process in real time to maintain process stability and ensure consistent output.

  • High-speed 3-axis filament sensor (10μm resolution, > 25 measurements per second), measuring for filament ovality
  • Real-time data logging + remote access, using the open-source InfluxDB software
  • Infrared thermal camera measuring the filament surface temp before it reaches the puller wheels, ensuring consistent filament quality, especially for high-temp materials
  • Automatic spool fullness detection

Precision Control for Stable Material Processing

Control key extrusion parameters to shape material behavior and maintain reliable processing across different materials and applications. 

  • Near-zero RPM fluctuation enabled by a powerful extruder drive system, supporting steady material flow and uniform output
  • Extended screw design for improved melt behavior, with options for mixing, precision, or custom configurations
  • Temperature control across multiple heating zones for reliable processing across different materials
  • Cooled hopper with temperature monitoring to preserve material integrity before extrusion
  • Material and spooling presets to streamline setup and reduce variability between runs

Platform & Customization

Adapt the system to your workflow and expand it as your requirements evolve. Built as a modular platform, the system supports different materials, configurations, and integration needs.

  • Continuous firmware updates through an ethernet connection, based on user feedback
  • Modular add-ons in co-operation with our R&D department

Integrated Control & Operation

Operate the system through a coordinated control environment where sensing, heating, pulling, and winding function as one system. The onboard system synchronizes these functions to reduce manual adjustments and reach stable output faster.

  • Touchscreen interface with direct access to parameter controls and real-time system feedback
  • Variable puller tension to accommodate different materials and maintain filament consistency
  • Spool chuck design for faster loading and reduced setup time
  • Up to 3 kg spool capacity to support longer, uninterrupted runs
