Particle extrusion is also known as molten particle manufacturing (FPF) or molten particle manufacturing (FGF). The technology works like an ordinary FDM / FFF
3D printer, except that the extruder melts particles or plastic particles through a hopper rather than a wire.
Large size particles for composite thermoplastic 3D printing have faster extrusion opportunities and lower cost.
1:lower costThe particle extrusion system extrudes directly from plastic resin instead of filament, eliminating part of the manufacturing process. As you know, the cost of filament is much higher than that of pellet, so the cost of particle printing can be affordable
Particle extrusion saves nearly 10 times the material cost compared with traditional 3D printing filaments:
2:faster printing speedThe printing speed of particle extrusion system is much higher than that of 3D filament extrusion system. The extrusion speed of our particle extruder is as high as 6 per hour
3:more print material optionsSpecializing in direct particle feeding 3D printing, our large format system can use engineering grade and commodity materials. And there are a large number of recyclable plastics to choose from.
4:more nozzle sizes are availableWe use easy exchange nozzles, which can range in size from 2mm to 12mm depending on your application.
5:automatic feedingParticles are continuously and automatically given to our 3D printer.
6:M material maintains complete performance.The material will lose or convert some of its properties in the filament manufacturing process. However, our 3D particle printer works directly with the original material. In theory, our material will keep all its properties intact.
