Welcome to another groundbreaking episode from us at Vision Miner, where we're always at the forefront of 3D printing technology. Today, we're diving into a revolutionary approach to large format 3D printing: pellet extrusion.
We recently had the pleasure of visiting Dyze Design at AMUG 2023, where they showcased their Pulsar and Typhoon high flow extruders. These innovative extruders are particularly useful when you need to print large objects quickly and economically. In fact, the Pulsar is a pellet extruder, which uses the raw material from which filament is made. This results in significant savings on filament costs!
Rob sat down with Simon from Dyze Design, who provided some detailed insight into these industrial-grade extrusion systems. The Pulsar pellet extruder is a sizeable piece of equipment, weighing in at around seven kilograms, and requires a sturdy printer to mount. It's also versatile enough to retrofit an old CNC router or mount on a robotic arm, enabling large scale additive manufacturing. This extruder can be used to print a wide range of large prototypes or end production parts, such as car parts, boats, or even molds.
In addition to the Pulsar, we also had a look at the Typhoon extruder, designed for extremely high flow on 2.85 filament. This extruder incorporates a quad pinch system and two independent heaters, leading to faster feed rates than usual extruders. At its maximum, with a five millimeter nozzle, it can reach a flow rate of 2.5 kilograms per hour!
We were also shown the various nozzle sizes available, with flat tips similar to our smaller nozzles. These are designed for Cartesian or Gantry machines, but are also available for non-planar applications. The use of these larger nozzles and high flow extruders can dramatically reduce the time taken to print large objects, making them a perfect fit for industrial applications.
But that's not all. One of the main advantages of using pellet extrusion is the potential for using recycled materials. This is not only cost-effective but also environmentally friendly. And with the freedom of movement offered by mounting the extruder on a robotic arm, there's virtually no limit to the size and complexity of the parts that can be printed.
In short, if you want to print faster, the solution isn't just about increasing speed. It's about depositing more material, and that's where these high flow extruders shine. At the end of the day, it's all about getting more parts printed efficiently and economically.
Dye's Design is based in Canada and is leading the way in pellet extrusion technology, which is set to revolutionize large scale 3D printing.
