3D & Printing
Control temperature across filament extrusion and fused-fabrication processes, ensuring uniform heat distribution for consistent, defect-free 3D prints.
Case Studies & factoids
Solutions that worked
Filament
- Continuous spooled thread made from thermoplastic or metal
- Raw material for the Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) thermal extrusion process
Fused Filament Fabrication
- Extrusion-based additive manufacturing process builds objects layer-by-layer
- Often uses Carbon Fibre Composites
- Uneven heat distribution causes shrinkage, particularly in large parts
- Monitoring the extruder nozzle temperature ensures steady, consistent filament flow
