3d printer filament extrusion line

When we start discussing 3D printing, we usually begin to think about the cool things we can make through 3D printing. But imagine what it takes to make the materials that a 3D printer uses. An important part of that process is the extrusion line, which converts raw materials into 3D printer filament. Here’s a look at how that will work, and how technology has advanced to make filament.

The initial process of producing 3D print filament is collecting raw materials. Those substances tend to be plastics of various types, like ABS or PLA. Once all the raw materials are collected, they are melted and blended to produce a fused mass. This blend is then forced out through a particular form known as a die to make a filament. The filament then cools to room temperature and is wound onto a reel, ready for use in a 3D printer.

How advanced technology is revolutionizing the production of filamen

Previously, the making of filament was an automated, as well as a hand-controlled, process, occasionally resulting in quality errors in the final product. Nowadays, extrusion lines have sensors and monitors which control the process very carefully. This means the resulting filament is higher quality with more uniform diameters, which is key to 3D printing success.
