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 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

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

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 to improve performance and extend system capabilities over time
  • Open integration capabilities for connecting with external systems and data environments
  • Support for custom attachments, including feeders, mixers, and additional components
  • Modular add-ons developed in collaboration with the 3devo R&D team

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
