New filament extrusion line for 3D printing.

Thanks to the PEPS project, Certech has acquired an extrusion line of filaments calibrated for FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) technology, consisting of a vacuum conformation bath that can reach temperatures of 45 ° C, a laser cell to control the drawing system (caterpillar haul-off) in continuous and a winder. Depending on the material and the target diameter, the production speed can reach 100 m / min. Diameters between 1.5 and 4 mm to within 10 µm can be obtained, in particular the conventional diameters of 1.75 mm and 2.85 mm.
