Filament Maker TWO
At the core of material workflows
Enable material validation, understand material behavior during extrusion, and produce consistent filament from early-stage testing to real-world application. Designed for research teams and industrial environments working with virgin and recycled polymers.
Bring material processing in-house and move from experimentation to repeatable production workflows.
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
