3D Platform has produced a high-flow air-cooled (HFA) extruder with a number of new features.

According to the company, the extruder:

  • has a gear reduction transmission that prevents filament stripping and slipping;
  • prints layer resolutions down to 50 microns;
  • comes standard with the 3DP 300 Series WorkbenchPro and as an available upgrade option with the 100 Series WorkTable and 200 Series WorkbenchClassic;
  • features nozzle sizes of o 0.4 mm (minimum), o 0.6 mm (standard) o 2.5 mm (maximum); and
  • provides continuous duty cycle for commercial digital manufacturing environments.
