How to find the best solution for your needs ?

When you’re on the hunt for a filament extrusion machine, the selection can be overwhelming. There are a lot of things to consider before making your purchase including the machine size, produced quality and capacity, after sales service, price etc. Our guide will help you understand the different types of filament extrusion machines available in the market.

 

Things To Consider

1. The size matters

When it comes to filament extrusion machines the size does matter. From bulky industrial-size machines to desktop compact solutions, you need to first specify the available space for your case. The main advantage of small and compact solutions is that they can be placed everywhere – starting from a small lab to a regular desk. On the contrary, larger solutions often need a dedicated room for them.

2. Quality or Quantity?

The quality of the extruded filament depends on many factors (temperature, extruding speed, etc.). Quantity of the produced filament is usually inversely proportional with the quality of the filament. That means that you need to ask yourself the right questions before you make your decision. How much filament do you need per hour? Will you use this filament for 3D printing, research purposes or both?

3. The Ease of use

Filament extrusion is not always a matter of click of a button. There is a learning curve that can be stiffer or more linear depending on the solution you use. That includes both the production of the filament but also the purging and maintaining of the machinery. It is important to have the right guidance through out your extrusion journey as this can save a lot of your time which then can be invested into other aspects of your project.

4. Define your budget

The choice of filament extruder comes down to your budget, your space, and your project’s end goal. There are many options out there starting from just a few bucks all the way to the industrial size solutions that can cost several hundreds-of-thousands of dollars. It is important to define both your budget and your goal clearly so you don’t pay for features you don’t need and don’t miss features that you’d like to have!
