CA 3D Printer Filament Extrusion Line

CA 3D Printer Filament Extrusion Line

function: make plastic filaments for 3D printer according to strick requirement of diameter tolerance. 

Including single color 3D printer use filament extrusion line and muti-color 3D printer use filament extrusion line

The filament machine is suitable for different raw material: ABS, PLA, PETG, PC

The machines are designed according to high precise, high stablity, fast speed output. The tolerance of filament diameter is less than more or less 0.035mm. 

CA 3D Printer Filament Extrusion Line is a specialized production system designed to manufacture high-precision plastic filaments for 3D printing applications. These filaments must meet strict diameter tolerance requirements (typically ±0.035mm) to ensure optimal performance in 3D printers. The extrusion line is capable of processing various thermoplastic materials, including ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), PLA (Polylactic Acid), PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol), and PC (Polycarbonate). It is available in single-color and multi-color configurations to meet diverse production needs. Below is a detailed introduction to the machine, its features, and its components:

• Real-time monitoring of key parameters such as temperature, speed, and diameter.

ABS Filament Extrusion Equipment Components and Process

1. Extruder:

• The raw material (plastic pellets) is fed into the extruder, where it is melted and homogenized.

• The extruder screw pushes the molten plastic through the die head.

2. Die Head:

• The die head shapes the molten plastic into a continuous filament of the desired diameter.

• The die design ensures uniform material flow and precise diameter control.

3. Cooling System:

• The extruded filament passes through a cooling system (usually water or air cooling) to solidify the material.

• Cooling ensures the filament retains its shape and dimensional accuracy.

4. Diameter Control System:

• A laser or ultrasonic diameter measurement system monitors the filament diameter in real time.

• Feedback control adjusts the extrusion speed or haul-off speed to maintain the desired diameter tolerance.

5. Haul-Off Unit:

• A haul-off machine pulls the cooled filament at a controlled speed to maintain consistency.

6. Winding Unit:

• The finished filament is wound onto spools using an automatic winding machine.

• The winding tension is carefully controlled to prevent deformation or breakage.

7. Optional Multi-Color System:

• For multi-color filaments, additional extruders or color dosing systems are integrated to blend colors during the extrusion process.

Applications of 3D PLA filament extrusion line

1. 3D Printing:

• Produces high-quality filaments for FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D printers.

2. Prototyping:

• Supplies filaments for rapid prototyping in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and consumer goods.

3. Education and Hobbyist Use:
