3D Printers, Extruders & Nozzles - Large Format

Video thumbnail

Three-dimensional (3D) printing parts are components used to feed, heat, control, deposit, and support printing material during an additive manufacturing process. Common 3D printer parts include extruders, nozzles, print beds, hot end components, and thermistors.

3D Platform (3DP), a PBC Linear brand, offers large-format 3D printers, extruders, nozzles, and related components for industrial additive manufacturing. These systems are used to produce near-net-shape parts and large printed components while helping reduce machining requirements, production time, and development costs.

3DP extruders control the heating and flow of thermoplastic filament as material is deposited layer by layer. The HFE (High Flow Extruder) is rated for 2–16 times the extrusion speed of a Volcano® extruder, while the HFA (High Flow Air-Cooled) uses an air-cooled design for thermal management. Filament is not sold by 3DP.

Extruder nozzles are available from 0.40 mm to 2.50 mm for HFA, HFE 300, and Volcano® models. Smaller nozzle diameters are generally used for finer detail, while larger diameters allow greater material flow and thicker layers for faster printing.

Additional 3D printer parts include a one-meter-square glass print bed and hot end thermistors for temperature measurement and control. Together, these components support large-format and industrial three-dimensional printing applications.

3DP Meets 4 Key Industry Demands

Smart manufacturers are no longer satisfied with legacy product development cycles and small-scale models. Today they are rapidly moving to full-scale prototypes and production using additive manufacturing practices. This shift requires SPEED and throughput expansion. 3D Platform machines give manufacturers this speed NOW with High-Flow Extruders and blazing fast (and QUIET) motors. And, we're continually optimizing these throughput components.

Push Your Additive Manufacturing To New Heights With 16 Times The Speed Of Competitors Extruders Use a small diameter nozzle for fine layer resolutions. Go bigger with a large extruder and a large diameter nozzle for fast printing and ultra-strong parts. Quick-Swap dual extruder heads deliver high quality 3D prints while being independently controlled for speed and extruded material amounts. Modular design can accommodate filament sizes from 1.75mm to 6mm and nozzles sizes from 0.2mm to 5mm. Flexibility to change nozzles depending upon your application and purpose. Use a small diameter nozzle for fine layer resolutions. Go bigger with large diameter nozzles for fast printing and strong parts.

SMB’s and Fortune 100 companies alike need to stretch their R&D and production investments like never before, while increasing speed to market. 3DP WorkSeries enables you to get new product development in gear and to the market faster. Our varying price range, open market software compatibility, and extruder throughput configurations help you to tailor your 3D printer to your specific additive manufacturing needs.

3D Platform was born from the hard requirements of machinists and engineers located at one of the world’s leading linear motion mechatronics manufacturers. Thus, components, motors, and control systems stand up to the harsh environment of the shop floor, and the excessive demands of rapid manufacturing. We serve customers with a need for commercial additive manufacturing and we're expanding on that success. Let us show you how.
